We’ve often written about the benefits of GPS trackers for construction companies, including tracking heavy equipment and building materials. Here’s a story from Corpus Christi, Texas that is a great example of GPS tracking for construction companies, or any business:
According to KRIS-TV.COM, GPS tracking recently led to the recovery of both a stolen truck and building supplies (roofing shingles) with help from a GPS tracking device inside the truck. According to the article, the suspect cut the chain link fence behind the construction business, stole the GPS equipped truck and shingles, and even painted over the truck’s business logo.
Police tracked the vehicle throughout the night, and ultimately recovered both the truck and the shingles. A suspect is in custody.

Nineteen people in Detroit are suspects in a nationwide theft ring, partly attributed to the use of covert GPS tracking devices. According to police, the suspects targeted specific jewelry shops and watch stores, often asking to view high-end jewelry and watches before running out the door and jumping into a getaway car without paying for the merchandise.
The theft ring appears to have been somewhat sophisticated in that the stolen merchandise was often tossed into a second car shortly after the theft to prevent it from being found in the vehicle seen leaving the scene. With covert GPS tracking devices, officers were able to confirm the location of multiple cars in each operation, thereby linking the suspects to the stolen items. The case involves 19 Detroit individuals in robberies spanning 22 states over a five year timeframe.
