GPS and Bread Crumbs

I bought MoSup that Garmin GPS I talked about the other day,  for her birthday. Garmin 265WT.  Actually, it was you guys who bought it for her, since I used my Pay Pal money.  She thanked me for you. We're  prolly the last people here to get one, and I'm blown away.  It did take several hours to get the initial satellite fix (too may trees here),  get  updated maps installed, etc.  Then I input addresses of peeps she goes to see, shopping, etc.  The upshot is that I'm something of an expert now; she can't turn it on.  MoSup's also worried that someone will steal it, which is a real problem.  A friend had his factory installed GPS ripped from his dashboard.  This is what I can't figure out.  The thing has a serial number. The thing accesses satellites.  Why can't I report it stolen, and Garmin tracks it's whereabouts?  First time used, the cops have a pin-point location.   Why not? The other exciting thing for me was, and I'm pretty embarrassed to tell you, what with me being a Kordon Blue trained chef, but it's Panko! Japanese bread crumbs.  HFS!  Never used Panko before for three reasons. Iwo Jima I make my own bread crumbs Never saw them in a grocery store until recently. Last night I used Panko to bread some (I think I'm getting Alzheimer's ... the flat fish.  Flounder!) Flounder, and WOW.  I want to "Panko" everything now.  I'm going to try fried peanut butter.  Dip some flattened, chilled PB in flour, egg wash, then Panko,  and fry.  I'll let you know.  Panko cannot be beat for crunch. Back to the GPS.  While I was playing with it, another thought struck me.  Garmin had better get into the cell phone business, or go bust.  This thing looks like an iPhone, and I'm told iPhones  have the GPS built in already, right?  Damn, if I'd waited another 6 months, I prolly buy this Garmin for $12.95 from Woot.  One other thing.  I forgot. Never mind.
