LONDON, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A British man who bought a used car at a police auction said the vehicle's satellite navigation system contained addresses for the Duchess of York and others.

Steven Coulson, 31, a taxi driver, said the 2004 Jaguar XJ6 he purchased from a police auction for about $24,000 included a GPS navigation device that contained the home address of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, as well as the home address of Princesses Beatrice's boyfriend, Dave Clark, The Sun reported Friday.

"This car is a suicide bomber's dream," Coulson said. "He would just have to fire up the sat nav and it would take him to the front doors of some of the biggest targets in Britain."

"The royals can thank their lucky stars the car was bought by me. I'll just delete the addresses," he said.
