Thieves steal BT car security system

View at ZDNet UK News

BT's new vehicle tracking system has set some kind of record by finding its first stolen car before it had gone live.

The car, an Audi A4, belongs to David Thomas — project manager for the new BT Trackit system. It was stolen from outside his house on 2 November and was recovered, undamaged, the same day.

Thomas was alerted to the theft by BT’s Secure Operating Centre. Using satellite-based tracking technology the car was pinpointed and the local police were informed and were able to recover the vehicle. The car had been abandoned six miles away.
