 The fast track to recovery

Four men force an unsuspecting driver from his vehicle at gunpoint. As the carjackers flee the scene, the victim immediately contacts Boomerang Tracking. We recover the stolen vehicle, leading to the arrest of four carjackers – within about 45 minutes.

This is a true story. Luckily, nobody was hurt and the vehicle was recovered undamaged. Ever wonder how we do it? Let’s just say that there’s much more to a Boomerang® Tracking System than the remote hardware unit attached to your vehicle. The real heart of our
devices – and our Company, for that matter – are the tracking professionals standing by to locate and recover your vehicle every second of the day, anywhere in North America.
