A Cincinnati paper recently reported that a local man found himself behind bars after the police were able to find the truck he had stolen because it contained a GPS tracking device. The truck was not taken from a residence, but from a commercial enterprise.

The estimated value of the stolen truck was $100,000. And that was just the vehicle be itself. On top of that, there was about $70,000 worth of tools in that truck. When you factor in lost revenue, time and energy because the company would be short one of their vehicles, which they’d have to replace, plus the threat of higher insurance rates that looms any time you make a claim, you can see how the loss of this truck could end up being very expensive.

GPS tracking devices can help keep your property where you want it. If someone tries to take it, you will be able to find it quickly. Time is of the essence when it comes to matters like this. In this instance, the thief was a substance abuser and he may have damaged the truck by driving recklessly. In other instances, the thief is well aware of the value of the stolen property and will not waste time in selling off parts to the highest bidder.

If you are a business owner who counts on vehicles and equipment to get the job done, by all means get auto insurance. But you should also invest in GPS vehicle recovery devices. The insurance is valuable and necessary, but it helps after the fact. A GPS tracking device can assist you in making sure you don’t need to file an insurance claim.
