Law enforcement officers in North Carolina used the GPS device installed by a truck’s owner to track the truck to the location where the thieves left it. The thieves not only stole the truck in question, but they then used it to make a stop at a motorcycle dealership, where they loaded it up with motorcycles in an attempt to get away with even more stolen vehicles.

The owner of the motorcycle dealership says that his store has 16 security cameras and a top of the line security system. He also employs security personnel, but unfortunately, his security detail was not present on the day of the theft. All of these precautions that were taken did not prevent the theft. The motorcycle dealership did not install GPS tracking devices on their merchandise.

So it is kind of a tale of two owners. The truck owner had a GPS tracking device on his vehicle. The motorcycle dealership had various sophisticated security measures in place. When it came to recovering the stolen property, who’s foresight mattered more? The truck owner’s.

Since the truck owner had installed a GPS tracking device on his vehicle, this helped authorities track not only his truck, but it also lead them to the evidence they needed to help them also solve the mystery of hte stolen motorcycles. So far, they have not arrested anyone yet. but being able to track the stolen truck has helped them to gather evidence.
