+Yellow Bug Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Had a 4 week trip changed to 4 days. One of the items taken was my Garmin GPSMAP 76S. It had many waypoints from my home in Hawaii as well as some of my friends in New Zealand. If it shows up please keep it, but help stop this problem by contacting Constoble Norm Pol at the Auckland Airport. The file number is (031125/5984). You have a wonderful country, and I feel bad that I will most likely never get to return. Hawaii has the same problems to a greater degree than you. This theft happend 6 hours after we arrived on Nov. 23, 2003. Our best Aloha to all and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Yellow Bug Quote Link to comment
da_snoop Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I'm sorry to hear of your poor experience in our little country. Generally, violence wise it's quite a safe country (heck, our police don't even carry firearms as a rule, airports however are an exception - international terrorism laws). Unfortunately when it comes down to petty crimes such as theft from carparks at tourist venues, we are up there amoungst other countries. I hope at some time in the future you get the oppourtunity to visit our little country again, and have a more enjoyable experience. Quote Link to comment
+Yellow Bug Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 Thanks, You have a great country - we really love it. This happens everywhere. Yellow Bug Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Just as a precaution, you might not want to store your actual home coordinates in your GPSr. I use the community mailbox down the street. That way, if my GPSr was stolen, the theif wouldn't be able to find my house. Quote Link to comment
+Yellow Bug Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 (edited) Good thought, but in this case I would welcome the thief to look me up in Hawaii. He might find more than expected. Edited December 24, 2003 by Yellow Bug Quote Link to comment
