Even with an immobilizer a vehicle can still be stolen, a sophisticated thief will use a tow truck or a flat bed to steal what they want and take the car to their 'hide out' to have their way with the car.
Boomerang Tracking has published a guide to protect vehicles from theft called Keeping Track Booklet, available at www.boomerangtracking.com. The guide includes a myths and realities quiz, a review of auto theft in Canada and the four methods of prevention against car theft. Boomerang Tracking has also launched a YouTube channel to better educate drivers. The “Auto Theft Prevention 101” is viewable at http://www.youtube.com/boomerangtracking. For more information and statistics, you can find the release on MarketWire.
"It's a small transmitter installed in your car. When you report your car stolen, the Boomerang tracking station can find the transmitter's signal in less than an hour, sometimes in a matter of minutes.
The enhanced Boomerang 2 doesn't even need you to report the theft - it automatically connects with the tracking station if the car is moved without being started, or if the battery is disconnected. " - Canadian Driver.com, the link to the full article ;
