Automobile theft has always been a lucrative "business." The profit margin is a high as it can be on stolen goods. Efforts to deter these activities have had varying degrees of success. Technology has aided in the prevention, but wary thieves are good at getting around those methods.
The element of surprise is what helps in recovery efforts of stolen vehicles. But police only have so much time to spend in keeping track on suspected auto theft rings. So, a more proactive approach must be chosen.
GPS vehicle tracking systems provide the ability to hide a device and emit a signal to alert authorities to the location at which the vehicle is being held. One of these devices can be placed into any vehicle including those from manufacturers that do not have a factory GPS navigation system which provides a tracking option. And, there are GPS vehicle tracking systems that have an integrated "cut off" switch that can be activated should the vehicle become stolen.
Police are inundated with cases involving theft. Frankly, these cases are less important than those involving violent crime. And that fact alone makes it worth the small investment by owners in placing these units in their cars. Police would much rather be involved in recovering stolen vehicles while the cases are still brand new rather than to have to follow up for months and months on cases that will probably never be solved.
These auto thieves are smart. They take these cars to chop shops instantly to be parted out to the highest bidder. Then, the vehicle ends up as parts in a foreign country where there are little efforts in identifying them as stolen goods.
Once a vehicle is stolen the first few hours are the most critical time in which recovery is possible. Even if the vehicle is not stolen for the purpose of being parted out, the thieves can be caught much sooner and will be behind bars before they know what hit them. That alone is worth the price of a GPS vehicle tracking system.
Then, there is the topic of money savings from lower insurance premiums. If you have a vehicle that is high on the list of priorities for thieves, then GPS Tracking is mandatory otherwise, insurance costs will be more than you can imagine.
A total effort to keep thieving bands from profiting from their actions is necessary. But the most important component is your own efforts. Make it a priority to obtain a GPS vehicle tracking system today to protect your investment.
