You've been searching for months and finally have your dream car. It's fitted with all the latest gadgets from the top-of-the-range entertainment system to alloy wheels. It has the best alarm and immobiliser system available and you've sourced the most comprehensive insurance, but that doesn't mean that your vehicle isn't vulnerable to thieves. Many people feel that with recent improvements in alarm and immobiliser technology their cars are protected against theft, but criminals are overcoming these deterrents by stealing vehicle keys through burglary, car-jacking or mugging.
If you're up-to-date with all the latest technology, you will know that fitting your treasured possession with a GPS vehicle tracking system, such as CobraTrak, significantly improves the chances of your vehicle being returned if stolen.
CobraTrak systems, from Cobra UK, European market leader for stolen vehicle tracking services, are much more than just the latest hi-tech GPS gadgets. By using GPS/GSM technology, Cobra UK is able to locate a stolen vehicle worldwide with pin-point accuracy, wherever the GSM network operates and liaise with police to recover the vehicle.
Lightweight yet robust, Cobra UK's systems include the top-of-the-range CobraTrak 5, a proactive system that incorporates Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) and Engine Crank Inhibition. The authorised driver of the vehicle is issued with a unique ADR card. Smaller than a credit card, the ADR card must be present whenever the vehicle is being used. If absent, a silent alert will be sent to Cobra UK's Secure Operating Centre, which will immediately begin tracking the vehicle and contact the customer to establish whether the vehicle has been stolen. In the unfortunate event of a theft, with police authorisation, Cobra UK can enable the Engine Crank Inhibition function, which prevents the engine from being restarted.
With the current economic climate increasing the likelihood of vehicle theft, CobraTrak GPS/GSM tracking systems give you the technological advantage to considerably increase the chance of your vehicle being located and recovered undamaged.

Burglars are targeting houses, not only for jewellery, cash and electricals, but specifically for vehicle keys. Many of these cars are ‘stolen to order’, by professional criminals and a significant percentage of those, not recovered within 72 hours, are taken out of the UK. Most new cars are fitted with immobilisers and alarms, which make the vehicle keys as valuable to a thief as the car itself. Stealing car keys, often through burglary is now the most popular way for thieves to take vehicles
