Your Mercedes-Benz dealers want to bring an article to your attention about GPS devices, car theft and passwords. Many people with luxury vehicles have a GPS device either built into their cars or as a standalone device. The problem is that they do not protect their device and information with a password.
That’s exactly what happened to this wealthy man. He had his Mercedes-Benz stolen from Manhasset restaurant. The car thieves took the Mercedes keys from the valet station and also found the keys to man’s Porsche once they got in the Benz. After thinking for a minute, the thieves looked up the guy’s address on his GPS device and went to his house. When he called home, the Porsche was already gone.
Many people use stories like this to say GPS devices are dangerous. But GPS devices are a good thing for people to have. They can be used to track vehicles in case they are stolen as well as help drivers find directions to anywhere they need to go. The key is to keep your GPS device password-protected so thieves cannot simply look at your device and find out where you live. Your Lawrenceville, NJ Mercedes-Benz dealer encourages you to utilize this important tip and keep your valuables and your family safe.
