Recovery: How We Bring Back Stolen Vehicles

We trace almost a stolen Toyota every week, with the RAV4 being the most popular model, as national theft statistics show. If not traced in time, these cars often end up in Africa, with Germany serving as an important transit point. Toyotas are sought after in Africa due to a large parts distribution network. The RAV4, in particular, is relatively easy to steal and often ends up in a container on a large cargo ship. It is crucial to act quickly when a theft is reported and intercept the car before it makes the transatlantic journey. Fortunately, we almost always succeed and have recovered many stolen vehicles in time.

When you or we notice that a vehicle—car, motorcycle, camper, bus, classic car—has been stolen, we immediately take action. For example, you may see that your car is no longer in the driveway, or we detect through Geofencing that a vehicle has crossed a preset boundary. Depending on the system installed in your vehicle, we and you can track the vehicle live or increase the frequency of the signals sent by the tracking system.

Our trained tracking team can locate your vehicle with meter-level accuracy. The team travels to the location or enlists the help of colleagues abroad and works with local authorities. Once found and secured, we ensure that the vehicle (which could also be a boat or work equipment) is returned to you.
