According to Security Park’s home office study there were fewer stolen cars in 2010 than in 2009. The figures are 107,000 and 119,000 respectively. Unfortunately, this is not all good news. The Police Offices Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service showed that vehicle crime is on the increase in certain areas of the UK. About 300 cars are stolen each day in some of the areas. The trouble is criminals are beginning to employ different means that are more sophisticated than the past. They have jamming tools that are able to block some of the systems on the vehicles. About 50% of vehicles are never recovered.
Given the problem of more vehicles being stolen in certain areas, it is imperative to consider the vehicle tracking system one uses. According to the experts, it is essential to choose a system that can beat the jammers being used by the criminal element. The devices are sophisticated as they are able to find the signal and block it. However, with a better system it would be easier to ensure the jammer doesn’t work. Fleet management companies need to consider the expense of the system they have and whether it can stand up to the more sophisticated thieving equipment.
