Hotel Mississauga

Boomerang Tracking has made strong inroads into the Ontario market. Luckily for one Thornhill resident…

The crime
Bright and early one morning, a Thornhill woman was unpleasantly surprised to find that her 2000 Lexus LX 470 had disappeared - right from her driveway. Anyone else would have panicked on the spot. Not her. By choice, her luxury vehicle - valued at over $80,000 - was equipped with a Boomerang® tracking device, Canada's premier stolen vehicle recovery solution.

The track
As soon as she noticed that her car was missing, she contacted Boomerang Tracking to report the theft. Within less than an hour, our in-house tracking team had tracked the stolen Lexus to - of all places - the parking lot of a Mississauga hotel, not the most obvious destination for a stolen vehicle.

The recovery
Much like other Tracking Tales, the recovery of the 2000 Lexus LX 470 revealed not only the stolen Lexus, but also led the Peel Police Auto Theft Unit to four additional stolen vehicles: a BMW 328, Toyota Sequoia, Acura MDX and Dodge RAM. In total, the five vehicles are estimated to be worth almost $300,000. In addition to this impressive vehicle recovery, the operation also enabled the police to arrest three individuals on the scene.

The Epilogue
What is the moral of this Tracking Tale? Said best by the satisfied Boomerang Tracking client:"The Boomerang is undoubtedly the most important tool to guard against the loss of a car from theft. The challenge is now to educate the public about the availability of the product, and to educate the insurance companies on how beneficial the presence of a Boomerang is to them. Our insurance company saved $80,000 due to our car having a Boomerang [tracking device], yet they do not offer a discount on premiums to those with such a device!"

A Manhattan mystery à la Boomerang

Ever thought you would hear about a tracking tale in New York City? Well, Boomerang Tracking took a bite out of the Big Apple. Boomerang Tracking successfully recovered a GMC Suburban from the streets of downtown Manhattan. THE Manhattan, as in New York City, U.S.A., miles from Canada's borders.

The crime
When the call came from a vacationing Boomerang client during late afternoon, our tracking team knew it had a Manhattan mystery on our hands. The evidence? An ominous empty space where Steven (not his real name) had parked his 1997 GMC Suburban at the corner of 2nd avenue and 83rd street.

The track
After Steven frantically contacted Boomerang Tracking, an initial location was identified in the New York City area. A tracking team, of course, was dispatched to Manhattan, where the track continued on the ground.

The recovery
Once on the ground in New York City, the tracking team focused on the Boomerang device's signal emanating from the GMC Suburban. How? Via the Company's compatible cellular network in the area. Within 40 minutes, Boomerang Tracking located the vehicle and contacted the relieved owner.

The Epilogue
After clarifying the situation with the Manhattan police on the case, the Boomerang owner was free to enjoy the remainder of his vacation secure in the knowledge that our in-house trackers are standing by to protect Boomerang-equipped vehicles every second of the day - and are always only a phone call away.
