What to Do If Your Car Gets Stolen with a Hard-Wired GPS Tracker Installed

Car theft is a nightmare for any vehicle owner. But if your car is equipped with a hard-wired GPS tracker, you already have a big advantage. iTracksafe Hard-wired trackers not only provide real-time location but also come with advanced anti-theft features that can help you recover your vehicle quickly.

1. Track the Vehicle in Real Time

As soon as you notice the theft, log into your tracking platform or mobile app. You’ll see the exact location and movement history of your car. This information is vital when reporting the theft to the police.

2. Rely on the Built-In Backup Battery

Thieves often try to disconnect the vehicle’s power. However, our GPS trackers come with a built-in battery, allowing the device to continue working for hours even after the main power is cut. This ensures you don’t lose the trail immediately.

3. Use Remote Engine Cut-Off

One of the strongest features of a hard-wired tracker is the ability to remotely cut off fuel or power. Once the vehicle speed drops to a safe level, you can send a command from the platform to disable the engine, preventing further movement.
⚠️ Always use this function with caution and preferably with police assistance.

4. Pay Attention to Instant Alarms

• Main Power Disconnect Alarm – If the tracker is unplugged, you will immediately receive an SMS alert.

• Vibration Alarm – If someone tampers with your car or tries to start it, you’ll get a vibration alert instantly.

These alarms give you early warnings so you can react before it’s too late.

5. Share GPS Data with the Police

Never confront the thief directly. Instead, share the last known GPS coordinates and route history with law enforcement. This dramatically increases the chances of a safe recovery.

✅ Conclusion
A stolen car is a stressful experience, but with a hard-wired GPS tracker, you are never completely powerless. Real-time tracking, backup battery, remote engine cut-off, and smart alarms make it much easier to recover your vehicle and protect your investment.
