If my vehicle is stolen how do I get it back?

As soon as you realize your vehicle has been taken the first thing you should do is call the police; once you’ve contact the police just one call to our 24 hour control centres and your stolen car, motorbike or motorhome is usually located within minutes.

Vehicle Tracking Systems that have ADR (automatic driver recognition) software such as the CobraTrak Cat 5 tracker give you an added level of security – you will be contacted to alert you of a potential theft.
