My car recently got broken in. The only thing that was stolen was my Garmin nuvi 200 which is worth less in $100 used on Ebay. Being a newbie in VA, it's almost impossible to get around without a GPS. On the brightside of things, this whole stolen GPS thing is my best reason to get a new one. Introducing Garmin nüvi 760 with bluetooth:
