Who knew a vehicle tracking device, typically used as a money-saving tool, can actually help solve crimes? On “Body of Evidence,” this week’s episode of Memphis Beat, Detectives Hendricks and Whitehead would have had a much tougher time tracking down a murderer and uncovering a large drug operation if it were not for the help of a business owner who installed GPS tracking devices on all of his company vehicles. The vehicle tracking history stored on the software provided evidence that allowed the police to track down the path of a guilty suspect.
Although you probably do not have high-profile crimes to solve, your vehicle tracking device can come in handy if one of your trucks or assets is stolen. It is much easier to find a criminal when you can follow his every move in real-time. Today, the National Insurance Crime Bureau published its list of the Top Ten Stolen Vehicles of 2010. Honda Accords and Civics top the list, but are closely followed by Chevy and Ford pickups. If your men drive these or any of the vehicles on the list – it is better to be safe than sorry.
Last year, over 15,000 vehicles were stolen in the state of Missouri alone. This figure does not even include other assets, such as trailers and heavy equipment. Many speculate that the steady decline over the past several years is due in large part to the increase in the number of GPS tracking devices installed in cars. The number of vehicle thefts is decreasing, but someone’s car still disappears every thirty minutes in just one state. Do not delay – invest in GPS vehicle tracking today.
