<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just wanted to sing the praises of Tracker ( www.tracker.co.uk ) & to show people that we DO actually respond to stolen cars, not just discard them as another figure!
We recieved a call to alert us that three high powered Mercedes cars had been stolen off of a private driveway after a burglary (keys stolen).
The cars were last seen London bound via the M11. The owner was away on holiday and was contacted by Tracker to confirm if all three cars had been moved by him. When he stated that he was out of the country, they activated the tracking systems.
Due to the equipment the Met Police car's carry, my car picked up the signal that one of the Mercs was giving out from it's Tracker. It was a SL65 AMG BLACK (2009) worth in excess of £230k with extras. Within 20 mins, we found it, parked, locked undamaged and secure in a side road in East London thanks to the tracking system. Car recovered!!
The following one was a SLK280 Kompressor, found three streets away, again locked and secure and undamaged. This was a code we picked up just after getting the first one! Car recovered!
Finally, a CLS was located by another pursuit car a couple of miles away! Car recovered!
All cars were locked , undamaged and unattended, but we had 3 excellent results, getting back well over £350k of Merc's within an hour of the signals
being located!
Thought I would just show that it does work, and it works well!
My Xmas wish list..... Tracker !!!
good results wish i had a tracker fitted to mine now
but what about the cars that dont have a tracker do the police actively look for these cars or is it a case of if they come across it?? what time would the police put on a car never being found as i was told if it isnt found in 3 days its unlikely to be found...
