Vehicle Theft
It is our sincere hope that you have not experienced a stolen vehicle. Car theft is big business in the U.S. Approximately every 30 seconds a vehicle is stolen.
When your car is stolen, your life is turned upside down. Aside from losing one of your most valuable possessions, you may incur considerable expenses:
- Time spent filing police reports, purchasing a new vehicle and finding alternate means of transportation
- Missed work
- Rental car
- Replacing valuables left in your car
- Insurance deductibles
- Increased insurance premiums
Other facts about auto theft in the US:
- Nearly half of vehicles stolen are never recovered, and of those recovered most are damaged or destroyed.
- Most security systems have flaws that a determined thief can overcome.
- There were over 1 million vehicles stolen last year in the US with an estimated value of over $7 billion.
- Alarms do not draw attention the way they used to. Most people are just annoyed by them.
Is A Car Alarm Really Enough?
It almost doesn't matter where you live or drive, your car is at risk. Nearly all of us don't even look up when we hear a car alarm anymore. We have become desensitized to the alarm over the years. With Locate1Plus you'll be assured that your vehicle can be easily located, regardless of where a thief takes it. In fact, with Locate1Plus, you can locate your vehicle within minutes of it being stolen and immediately notify the police. This is a very crucial time period before damage can be done or the car effectively stripped away.
Vehicle Theft Recovery
Most car thieves are part of extremely organized crime rings and know how to steal any car they want. You can't really stop someone from stealing your car. Locked doors won't stop them and security systems don't scare them off. But you can help Police track and recover your car quickly.
Now YOU have the opportunity to fight crime with state of the art technology – GPS or Global Positioning System. We can provide you with the tools to locate your vehicle when YOU want to. While some theft systems require the local police to have specialized equipment in their police units (few actually do have it installed), Locate1Plus does not. Access to the internet and your very own userid and password is enough for you to locate your vehicle.
The Locate1Plus vehicle module is covertly hidden within a vehicle (not even the owner knows where it is). Since all equipment is concealed and no exterior antenna is visible, there is no way to tell a vehicle is Locate1Plus equipped.
Remember when LoJack ™ was THE anti-theft solution. It was such a nice idea for its day. Well just as it has been with many other things, today the solution is a new technology with super capability at a fantastic price. Locate1Plus with GPS technology is today’s solution. Locate1Plus is a simple-to-use yet sophisticated REAL-TIME vehicle security and GPS tracking system that uses the Global GPS system and wireless Internet Communication to keep tabs on a driver and/or a vehicle.
With LoJack ™ you had to depend on specially equipped Police cars to just happen to be in proximity of your stolen vehicle. With Locate1Plus, YOU know where and you can tell the police exactly where it is located. You can use Locate1Plus to pinpoint the vehicle location, the direction it is heading and how fast it is going. You can even disable the starter. Anytime. Anywhere. In Real Time.
While LoJack™ requires the local police to have specialized equipment in their police units (of which, few actually have it installed) and these units must be in close proximity of your stolen vehicle to perform, Locate1Plus does not. Internet access with your very own username and password is all you need to locate your vehicle. With Locate1Plus, YOU know where your car is and can have the police recover it immediately.
