Vehicle tracking is one of the best ways to recover a stolen vehicle. Using a technology that allows radio towers to pinpoint a car's location, the tracking device can then report this location directly to you or to a law enforcement officer. The vehicle can then be located and recovered, often within a few hours of activation. Here's how to install, activate and use a vehicle tracking device.
Install a GPS tracking device in your car. Activate the system through the system's operating company. A subscription is often necessary.
Notify the police in the event of theft. Start the tracking process by contacting the tracking device's company.
Monitor the tracking progress through software tools provided by the tracking company or by staying in contact with law enforcement.
