so i just got my Dash GPS that all the cool gadget kids are raving about. i’ll perhaps attempt a review later. i did note something interesting - there’s a warning sticker about thieves on the device:

and yet the contents of the box include nice transparent stickers:

maybe they should have added to the warning: hide the device and its mounting arm, and remove stickers before leaving your vehicle.

also, the adhesive used to attach the thief warning sticker was so strong that i worried about damaging the touch screen while removing it. and covered enough of the screen that it was difficult to get one of the corners peeled up to get it out of there. and did i mention the residue that the adhesive left?

it smacks of a legal department driven, poorly designed and/or tested afterthought.
