Cool website, gave it a go. I am not a general advocate of license plate tracking but believe it’s a double edge sword. A former vehicle was stolen and recovered twice - likely due to tracking technology.




Cars can have tracking devices installed that remain dormant until remotely activated by the owner in case of theft.

This is how Netstar and Tracker does it in South Africa. To massive success. So much so that a car without one of these installed is basically uninsurable.

There is no need for external 3rd party tracking.
