A Thornhill area resident was unpleasantly surprised to find her 2000 Lexus LX 470 had disappeared from her driveway yesterday morning. Luckily, the luxury vehicle valued at over $80,000 was equipped with a Boomerang® tracking device, Canada’s premier stolen vehicle recovery solution.

The owner immediately contacted Boomerang Tracking to report the theft and within less than an hour, Boomerang Tracking’s in-house tracking team had tracked the stolen Lexus to the parking lot of a Mississauga hotel. The recovery revealed not only the stolen Lexus, but also four additional stolen vehicles, including a BMW 328, Toyota Sequoia, Acura MDX and Dodge RAM. The five vehicles are estimated to be worth almost $300,000. In addition to this impressive vehicle recovery, the operation also led the Peel Police Auto Theft Unit to the arrest of three individuals on the scene.

“This recent operation reinforces the need for an effective solution for Ontario vehicle owners. As motor vehicle theft continues to increase in Toronto, by over 4% last year alone, the Boomerang Tracking System continues to remain at the forefront of the vehicle recovery industry,” commented Serge Laporte, Vice President of Sales and International Business Development, Boomerang Tracking Inc. “This rapid recovery is a prime example of the Boomerang Tracking’s unwavering commitment to providing vehicle owners, and the community at large, with a simple effective solution,” concluded Mr. Laporte.
