The night has always provided the criminal element a cloak of concealment, but not even the darkness would provide two local Florida men the protection they needed to commit grand theft auto. When two unidentified men broke into a Fort Lauderdale tow truck companies secure parking lot and stole two Ford F-450 tow trucks, the trucks owner, Jason Parrett, was not worried. Parrett had piece of mind because of a decision he made earlier in the year to outfit his small fleet of vehicles with GPS tracking technology, specifically, real-time vehicle tracking.

On an early Saturday morning one of Parrett’s employees notified him that the two trucks were not in their designated location. Parrett contacted his employees to verify that they were not in possession of the vehicles and once he had confirmation that the trucks were stolen he decided to access his vehicle tracking system’s data. Parrett used his wife’s Blackberry phone and accessed the vehicle tracking system to view the truck’s location. The vehicle tracking system data showed that one of the trucks was in Lauderdale Manors and the other truck was in a neighboring city. With the data from the vehicle tracking system, Parrett’s employees were able to accurately locate the exact position of the missing vehicles.

Once the vehicle tracking system led Parrett’s employees to the location of the vehicle, they contacted local police to arrest the suspected thieves. When the police arrived at the scene, the vehicle tracking data was able to provide concrete evidence when the trucks were stolen and everywhere they went.  Parrett initially equipped his tow trucks with vehicle tracking systems to help in routing and documenting mileage for tax purposes. Theft recovery applications for the GPS tracking system were just an added feature. When asked about the crimes, Parrett stated that without GPS tracking technology and equipping his tow trucks with vehicle tracking systems the trucks would have never been recovered. The real-time vehicle tracking systems provided swift justice and recovery of Parrett’s assets.
