> From EmpireStateNews.net:

"A Copiague man has been charged with stealing an automobile GPS device from a van after he was caught riding a bicycle 
while holding the device.
An Amityville Village Police officer spotted the man, later identified as Alex Batista, 33, riding a bicycle at 1 a.m. 
on December 29 while carrying several items in his arms.
When the officer took a closer look, he saw that one of those items was a GPS unit."

And then, the most interesting part of the article:

"The officer took a closer look at the GPS unit and pushed the “home” button, which listed an address of 22 Grand 
Central Avenue, just a block away.
The officer went there and Sergei Tajada told him his GPS unit was missing from his van."
