Subject: Satellite Navigation may be Hazardous to your Life Of Crime
According to police, a man and a woman stole a Toyota Highlander SUV
in the Toronto suburb of Newmarket, planning to drive it to Alberta,
but relied on the GPS dashboard device for directions for the trip.
It duly gave them the shortest route to Alberta -- one passing south
of Lake Huron. So when the license number was routinely checked at
the US border, the couple were arrested. Allegedly they were on the
approach to the international bridge at Sarnia before they realized
it was too late to turn back. A total of four people are now charged
in a series of 70 vehicle break-ins in Newmarket in February and
March.
