GPS foils Portland-area carjacking

Here's a brief newspaper story and a TV clip about a vehicle we recovered after a woman had been carjacked at knifepoint in Vancouver, Washington, which is located near Portland. The 22-year old victim called 911 and told them she had a Guidepoint in her car. Police notified us and we tracked the vehicle, which was recovered in approximately 40 minutes. The suspect was also arrested and brought into custody. Our success rate continues to hold at more than 99%, which compares pretty favorably to our prime competitor, Lojack, which uses an older technology and only works in markets where the vehicles are equipped with their tracking equipment. It's great to hear a member of law enforcement say that we were "incredibly helpful" in recovering the car, as the Vancouver PD spokeperson says in the TV clip. (NOTE: Sorry about the YouTube clip, but you have to go the 3:40 mark in the video to see the story about the GPS recovery).
