A MODERN-day pirate has sparked a high seas chase across Bass Strait after stealing a luxury yacht owned by millionaire wine merchant Philip Murphy.
The above theft is a typical example as to why Automatic Vehicle Locating System (AVLS) is significantly growing in both the business as well as the private sector. The major interest has been the security feature that is the best you will ever have. Holden's Magazine, HOLDEN LION, tells of a story where a stolen Calais came to an ubrupt halt, all care of Holden Assist. With the assistance of police the vehicle was located and tracked and at the most opportune (safe) moment the fuel system was switched off by Holden Assist Emergency Responce Centre. Using GPS as well as the mobile phone technology, GSM, proved too good for the thieves. The car was returned to the owner without a scratch. If you are concerned about having 9 escapees stealing your vehicle or a brazen thief taking the car keys from the kitchen bench whilst you watch cricket then you have to consider an AVLS.
