Laval - Jan 10, 2003
A vehicle tracking operation was engaged last night at 11:43 pm after a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 was stolen during the Rolling Stones concert at the Bell Centre. With its onboard GPS, Datacom's monitoring central was able to dispatch police towards the moving vehicle.

Police officers found the vehicle at 00h03, only 20 minutes after the launch of the recovery efforts. The owner of the stolen car, Mr. Charles Rabbat, declared: "Fast and effective, the Mobilus system did an excellent job. It allowed for my vehicle to be recovered without any damages".

Unlike other systems, Mobilus incorporates a number of advanced features to provide both theft prevention and immediate notification in the event that a vehicle is moved without permission.

It incorporates technology which can track a vehicle within meters anywhere in North America.

In case of a theft; horn, lights and even car immobilizer can be activated at police's request. As added features, customers can always request a position, unlock their doors, or start the vehicle through a personalized Internet access.

Car theft is an important problem in Quebec with one vehicle stolen every 12 minutes. In the year 2000, 33 000 cars were stolen in Quebec totaling a loss of $263 million.

Many insurance companies now offer car owners substantial discounts for the installation of the Mobilus system. Mobilus is available at car dealers across Quebec.
