how big are these boxes ?

 

could they simply not just be removed by the theif ? im sure thats what was happening to the tracker system .

 

they park it into a container and the tracker signal dies then they find the box as there are only a few places in the car it can be hidden then flung away.

yep, and by the time you get your car it may have been stripped of all the best bits...

The size of the device is 95mm X 37mm X 32mm. Tiny isn't it.

 

You are quite right thieves do remove systems such as RAC Trackstar and Tracker and that is because the installers put them in the same positions time after time and the theives know it.

 

With this system you decide where it goes and I can think of loads of places that thieves just wouldn't look.

 

These units work inside containers unlike the GPS tracking systems that require sight of the sky. If you are really smart you won't place the unit in an obvious place.

 

Think about the statistics. 98% of vehicles stolen with this unit are recovered. You don't hear RAC Trackstar and Tracker boasting of that level of recovery.

Yep, there is always that risk but you can always replace an engine on the insurance.

 

Try replacing the shell.

 

I'd be happy to get the shell back in one piece.

Yep. I hate the idea of always having to wonder whether your pride and joy will be in the same place you left it.

 

I supose these devices give us the chance to get a vigilante mob together and get hold of the thieving gits aswell as recover the car.
