\"GPSWe love our \u201csmart\u201d cars, and with good reason. Are you looking for the nearest Target or gas station? The Global Positioning System (GPS) in your car is there to help.<\/p>\n

However, if your car is ever stolen, the same navigational system can lead the bad guys right to your front door. Or less dire but more frequent, a criminally-minded valet or car repair person can easily find out where you live too.<\/p>\n

Here are two steps you can take to minimize the chances of being victimized by your own technology.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t let your car\u2019s GPS system be your downfall.<\/strong> <\/span>Make the \u201cHOME\u201d address on your navigational system an intersection near your home, not your actual address. If bad guys steal or gain access to your car, you don\u2019t want them showing up to your house later that night. Remember to periodically clear out your \u201crecent destinations\/trips\/places\u201d in your car\u2019s navigational system too.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t use the built-in garage door opener feature in your car and don\u2019t clip a garage door opener to the visor.<\/span><\/strong> Take it with you or store it in an inconspicuous place in the car. In the unfortunate event the bad guys do find your house, you don\u2019t want them to rolling up the driveway and pulling into your garage. If your car gets stolen, change the access code on your garage door right away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s be careful out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
