Freelander 2 Thefts: A worrying thought – Please read

Just had a thought after reading some of the FL2 thefts that have occurred recently here on this forum and the rising trend of breaking into the owners house and stealing the keys.

Anyone who comes across this site can potentially find the location of your valuable FL2 via the members map here on this forum, right down to the street name. Almost like a directory of new FL2's ready for the taking?

Maybe delete your co-ordinates in your profile to be less specific, and not give any potential thieves this valuable information?

me too

Yep you're right, which is why I did same as Npinks; a vaguer town name plus moving the co-ordinates on the map a bit! Razz  Life is not a dress rehearsal!
