Article | When Theft Bypasses Your Tracker

Written by: Carolanne Hurley, Managing Director

What then?

Vehicle theft is already a costly problem. But what happens when the thieves are one step ahead—removing or disabling your GPS tracker at the point of theft?

It’s more common than you might think. As tracking technology becomes standard in fleet and high-value vehicles, experienced criminals come equipped with devices to scan for and remove visible or known trackers within minutes.

Theft Is Expensive

Let’s break it down:

The average value of a one-year-old vehicle sits around £15,000
Insurance might cover some of the cost—but premiums will rise
For businesses, there’s also downtime, replacement delays, lost income, and admin headaches
In some cases, stolen vehicles are never recovered at all

The result? One stolen vehicle can easily cost you many thousands of pounds—even before you consider the ripple effect across your operation.

That’s Where Recover Comes In

Recover from Pay as You Track is a powerful, discreet solution designed for one job: finding stolen vehicles even when the primary GPS tracker has been removed.

This is about smart backup. A last line of defence that keeps working when everything else fails. The best part? It costs a fraction of what just one theft would set you back.

Just one stolen vehicle could cost you more than a decade of protection.

✅ Peace of Mind That Pays for Itself

Whether you’re running a fleet or just value what you drive, the cost of protection is small compared to the cost of replacement. Recover is there for when the worst happens—silently increasing your chances of getting your vehicle back quickly and reducing your exposure to loss.
