Helping to protect your vehicle even while you are asleep
I know what you are thinking… why a case study about one of the most stolen vehicles in the UK and the vehicle that made up 67% of May ‘22’s recovery figures.
With the recovery of this Range Rover highlights the efficiency and frankly brilliance of the SmarTrack Trident S7 device, our 24/7 Control Centre and our Repatriations Team. Yes that’s correct with this one we are showing off!
Up until the end of May Global Telemetrics has recovered £17.8 million this year so far.
With nearly half the year gone, May was yet another busy month for Global Telemetrics with £3.4m worth of vehicles recovered this month. This brings the total number of vehicles recovered so far to £17.8m. This is now only just over £5m away from the whole of last year’s total of £23m.
This theft is fairly unique in that it happened in the middle of the day in a residential area in a busy part of Birmingham. Whilst not all thefts happen at night, thefts during the middle of the day are not something that happens all the time. For this unlucky customer his Land Rover Discovery was stolen just after midday on a Sunday afternoon.
There is a myth that if your vehicle is stolen and you don’t get it back within the first 48 hours then you wont get it back at all. Thankfully, this is definitely a myth and not fact and the following case study shows that even after a few days a vehicle can be found and recovered back to a customer.
Sadly, this also means we see a rise in theft numbers for this type of vehicle. This was the case in February where we had a theft and recovery of a Fiat Ducato Autotrail Motorhome in the London area.
