Vehicle Tracker

A vehicle tracker is an electronic device fitted to the car that allows its exact location to be monitored, usually by satellite.

Insurers approve of trackers because they mean a vehicle is less likely to be stolen. Police forces approve of trackers because they often lead to 'ringing dens' where organised car crime is carried out.
