Good for you man. Way to go. I am not sure of exactly what you would have done about this had you not requested advice here on RCM, but I think that we have a great bunch of people on here. Nice to see that we could do some good for someone in need after an unfortunate incident like this.

So are the police actually going to do anything about this guy? How old was he? I mean since you retrieved your GPS most Officers are happy to just let it drop. Still if this guy stole your stuff, then you can be sure that he is probably on a roll. It is like an adrenalin rush for some to do this sort of thing and some just cannot stop themselves after the first time unless they hit bottom by spending some time in jail, or at the very least stand before a Judge. Just wearing a pair of cuffs is quite embarrassing. Regardless of his sad story he made the concious decision to steal your stuff, and should face the conciquenses for his actions. Otherwise he will be right back out on the street doing it to some of your friends & neighbors trying to make up for this loss.

And I have to ask. Was your car locked or left open? We had one hell of a time convincing one of our sons about keeping his vehicle locked up. He had his GPS, Ipod, and hard drive stolen out of his truck last month. It is hard to get any sympathy out of a Cop when you leave things open for them to easily open and steal your stuff. Sure any thief can break a window, and get in if they really want to. The problem is when you make it TOO easy, even the good people will be tempted to relieve you of your personal property in desperate times. We all have a responsibility to keep our stuff locked up and make the effort to protect what belongs to us.

So was it left open? You never really told us that part.
