GPS Stolen, think I found it on Ebay...

ChadTower:

The raping will continue until morale improves.

melarky:
I'm dying to find out what happens too :)

I've handed in the paperwork to the police, and the detective told me that he would contact the seller and buyer once ebay releases the info to him.

I haven't heard anything since then, and I'm dying to know if he's talked to either yet.  I will update this once I know more.

spriggy:
If this chimps an adult..... let's hope the only thing he'll be selling, is his ass in jail! :police:

Based on the thread topic, nobody was unclear as to what you were talking about Peale, except those who got caught acting Millhouse.

I'm guessing this is for states/provinces/countries that don't allow radar detectors.

Actually, the cloaking doesn't seem to work. They can only detect certain types of antennas though.

Not necesarrily the antenna... The local oscillator in the RD tends to 'leak'.  This is what the RDD's sniff out.

Higher end RD's can sense the sniffers and shut the LO down while alerting.  I think a few years back one of the FCC's design specs changed to require lower emissions from RD's, thus making the RDD less useful on new RD's.

Phew.  Any more TLA's and I'd have screamed.

The new RD's use a phased array (closed) antenna instead of an open horn antenna. So they don't leak at all and cannot be detected (with a RDD) even when it's switched on. That's what I meant by "antenna".

Sorry to the thread police (who then start chit chatting about completely unrelated nonsense) but indeed I'm interested what happened with the GPS.
