Betty doesn't always get me to where I am going either... Great tip about not putting in home address though, never thought about it.

I use the GPS on my Droid...and that always goes with me!

Made me think that several things like insurance cards have our addresses on them - something I had never thought about.

I never leave my GPS in my car.
I don't have my address marked as "home". It's simply an address, along with 50+ others I have stored.

Me, too!

The thing is, people are going to do what they're going to do. I drive a rather ostentatious car and no doubt It'll be broken into at some point, but the security system on the house (and four dogs) are usually a decent enough deterrent. And if not, there's the secret service guy who lives next door and works nights... :wink:

All that said, if they left my pets alone there's insurance for everything else.

Nope, don't want one and don't need one.

Wow!!

We don't use GPS, we just wander around till we get there.

Oh geez!!

I keep a close tab on ours. I check it every time after we spend anything. I had my Visa card number stolen awhile back. Amazon.com contacted my bank and my card was immediately cancelled. A little inconvenient but well worth it. It was just a matter of minutes from the time they tried to use it and it was cancelled.

and when ever i put my address in online maps for directions, i use my neighbors house number.not mine.
