I live on a pretty well-travelled street. If there was someone searching around the front of my house looking under ornaments and what have you, it would get noticed. Or as an option keep it in your car. If I'm standing at my front door, it would be a very unusual day for my car not to parked next to it.

I remember a story about someone who lost their keys. The thief used the remote pip to locate their car, then pressed "home" on the satnav, drove there and let himself in. Technology can be so usefull in all walks of life! _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Yeah, risk assessment though. The chances of a burglar using that method rather than the more casual method like finding an open window are probably not great. If you secure your house reasonably well, the average burglar's first option is to go find somewhere else that's not secure, not carry on struggling to get into yours.

Proper bionic limbI'm not sure I'd want to do the 'drinking a cup of coffee' thing with an actual cup of boiling hot coffee - the last part of the motion seems more 'throw' than 'put' - but it's ruddy impressive either way. I think this is one of those things where, once they've figured out the basics (as they appear to have) the refinements come along pretty quickly. Indistinguishable prosthetic limbs in 10 years?

Actually that satnav thing has been used before - especially to get the replacement car. Hence why "Home" on my satnav is the dealership where I bought my car from.

So giving the car thief a greater choice of other cars to steal.  Though since many dealerships also have forecourt cameras it might also increase the chance of them being identified.

Totally NSFW... Go to Vevo.com and search for 'Blurred Lines (Unrated Version) - Robin Thicke'. It's a very cheap but titillating vid
