I am far out of your woods but I took note of the serial number just in case. I truly hope the bugger gets a serious cramp up his ass though. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Problem is it is normally somebody that knows what he / she is looking for.
Best bet is to pop into Cash crusaders etc stores in your Area and let them also know.

I have found my stolen GPS at a second hand trading store and they have handed it over without protest when I have shown them the proof ownership. I noticed that it was "bought" at another branch and moved for sale to the branch where I found it.

Glad you Found it.
They normally have camera's where they take in purchasses - Get the Cops to investigate. ## ##
Good chance they will have a pic of the Dude or Dudes. Hate this type of thing. :evil:

Johannes and Carel not the same person. GPS was stolen at Polokwane Sivel airport. I beleive it was one of the club members. New exactly how to enter the hanger. Unclip the GPS and carefully unscrew the antenna and power cable. Left the instruction booklet in the front panel because he knows how it works. Only a pilot will know that a GPS 495 can anclip from the instrument panel.
