    " I would like to know if there was an increase in robbery since my GPS unit was stolen from me the early morning of the 24th of March. I have never ever stolen anything from anyone or defrauded anyone knowingly for any reason whatsoever and firmly believe that not even a hair grows gray on my head without the Lord knowing it and that includes the GPS. So I would like to know why it disappeared and what can I do to prevent this. The unit value surpassed $500 dollars and would also like to know if this constitutes grandtheft. "
