Anyone know a diver who's had a Sat Nav stolen?

YD thread (http://www.yorkshire-divers.com/forums/surface-interval/46347-important-message-dorset-police.html#post566519)

I am investigating a theft of a sat nav. A Yorkshire resident was arrested in Dorset, stealing a sat nav. A search revealed that he had another 2 sat navs with him.

Interogation of one of these, a TOM TOM ONE shows "favourites addresses" including THE DELPH and WAKIE DIVE. I do not believe that the thief is a diver so I am hoping that these addresses relate to the unit's previous owner.
Could you please poll your members to see if they have had a sat nav stolen with the above entries. I have other entries that I can use for authentication and the serial number is clearly visible.

I wish to find the loser of this device so that I can prosecute the offender for the heinous crime of stealing from a diver and so that it can be returned.

Any responses can be directed to me at richard.wilson at dorset.pnn.police.uk or by phone leaving a message including contact details for PC 1826 on 01202 222222.

I would appreciate responses to be made asap as if I am unable to prove that the device is stolen I will have to return it to the thief.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Hi,

i do not know about the sat nav, but is there a home address? eg home? this is just a thought as the garmin we use at home has a feature which stores the users home location.

Hi

I have added this to the pocketgpsworld forums

And as the previous poster said yes its well worth a try turning the tomtom on and going to the navigate option and then choose home you never know as long as the little scroat hasnt changed it, it should have the owners home address (or at least the road) on it as its one of the first things you setup.

Also its maybe worth calling tomtom email addy or telephone number will be at www.tomtom.com and give them the serial number on the bottom of the unit as the owner will have registered it and they should have the owners details.
