Tracking System Busts A/C Thief

Home Air Conditioner Equipped With GPS Tracker

Home builders and home owners lose millions of dollars every year to theft. These thieves will enter a home without authorization and steal valuable appliances such as microwaves, dishwashers or refrigeration units. Home builders and home owners can take additional security precautions by locking doors and installing state-of-the-art home security systems, but that may not prevent a motivated thief. These motivated thieves may not even need to enter the home to steal valuable appliances because almost every home air conditioning unit sits outside of the home, unprotected. Home security systems and even security guards cannot prevent thievery, but there is help available in the form of GPS tracking system technology.

Real time GPS trackers are often used to provide theft-recovery solutions for vehicles or valuable assets. However, as the cost of the technology has declined, the market has opened up to a much larger market. This has allowed people interested in protecting appliances a unique way to safeguard those expensive items.

Do Real-Time Tracking Devices Really Work?

Asset GPS protection systems have led to the successful recovery of appliances throughout the country, saving people millions of dollars. This will likely continue as statistics show that appliance theft is only on the rise. The news story in the above video reinforces that statement, showing how one group of people caught an air conditioning thief through the GPS monitoring technology.
