One of the devices used in the industry today are modified GPS devices. Today, they not only help in the navigational needs of motorists but also act as tracking devices to help shore up the security needs of people particularly from carjackers which are growing in numbers. One such example is the GPS AnyPlace tracker which proved its worth when they helped in the recovery of a 2005 Ford Crew Cab.
The truck was parked out of sight of workers at a job site in Little Rock on July 7. Upon returning to the parked location it was discovered stolen at 6:25 PM CDT. GPS AnyPlace was notified at 6:26 PM CDT and located the truck parked in a private drive miles away from the construction site at 6:27 PM. Saline County Sheriff’s Office was notified and the truck was recovered within minutes.
This is a great testimony on what the new GPS devices have to offer. Stolen cars will no longer get far and their recovery has dramatically improved compared to before when stolen were returned safely back to their actual owners.
