Even though, in some cases, the time factor is not decisive in determining successful relocation, the sooner a stolen vehicle is reported and traced, the better.
This is the case, for example, of the Client who contacted the Viasat Operations Center 5 hours after the vehicle was stolen. The owner of the vehicle had entered a shop leaving the vehicle parked outside with the keys in the dash. On leaving the shop and not finding the vehicle, the Client immediately contacted the Viasat Operations Center which activated the tracking procedures, despatching the Police to the place indicated. The Carabinieri confirmed that the vehicle – fitted with a Blu Box – had been relocated, locked, in Via Pastrengo Brindisi.
The efficiency and effectiveness of the Viasat satellite system is confirmed by national stolen vehicle relocation data. The percentage of vehicles recovered in Italy is 41% and increases twofold to 82% for vehicles fitted with a Viasat satellite device.
