We’ve had cardboard cops, but now cut-out children are helping to reduce accidents.
So if your vehicle is...
So if your vehicle is stolen, you want to ensure staff at the local workshop aren"t using it as a runabout or are simply look-ing for peace of mind, the set-up lets you check its position via the Internet or a mobile phone.
On screen, you can locate the car on a map using GPS (Global Positioning Satellites) or GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) technology. Should you prefer, updates can be sent to a landline phone or fax machine at a cost of around 20 pence a time. If you notice that your vehicle is on the move when it shouldn"t be, the first step is to report it to Cobra as stolen. The do-it-yourself checks stop at that point, and the firm"s call centre takes over instead, following the car"s position, alerting police and assisting with recovery. The kit costs ÷£349, and there is a ÷£160 annual subscription on top of this. To find out more, visit the website at www.cobravehiclesecurity.co.uk or telephone 01932 732320.
