A TRACKER system fitted to a BMW X3 stolen from an address in Staines, allowed Thames Valley Police to recover four vehicles in total from an address in Buckinghamshire. TRACKER is the UK market leader in stolen vehicle recovery using VHF and GPS technology to pin-point a stolen vehicle, even if it is hidden in a container or a lock-up.

Adrian Davenport, Police Liaison Manager, South of England and Wales for TRACKER said,”This is a fantastic result and illustrates the power of TRACKER’s relationship with police forces across the UK. With the TRACKER device, none of these vehicles may have been found and the gang of thieves could still be operating”.

If you drive a performance sports car or indeed any vehicle that is likely to be stolen, i.e. Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz,  it may well be worth considering fitting a TRACKER system, as some car insurance companies will actually reduce their premiums as well, knowing the car is likely to be recovered quite easily.

Toyota reassures on car insurance cover
In the light of the recent Toyota recall over accelerator pedal issues Toyota has confirmed that there are no problems with any Toyota cars not being covered by their insurance policies.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) recently released a statement saying,”The ABI confirms that motor insurance policies will continue to cover Toyota owners affected by the recall of certain models. Any claims will be dealt with in the normal way, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy. If they have not already done so, anyone who thinks they may be affected should contact their local Toyota dealer and follow their advice”. 

Toyota has also confirmed that their own Toyota Insurance product will be offered to any driver refused by their existing insurers.
