Carjacking! Theft! Feeling Helpless? Time to strike back!

We all know what it is like when our valuable property gets stolen. After the initial shock wears off, we rage because we feel so powerless. We would like to try to recover our property, but we do not know where to look for it. We are resigned to depend on the police to recover it. By the time they get around to looking for… it may well be half the world away. We need pure luck to find any trace of it again. Well, that is what you thought up to now.

Now you can keep track of your property! You can follow it! What if… you could tell the police not only that your property was just stolen but at the same time also tell them where it is? Your chances of recovery have now gone up dramatically!

Combining the technogology of GSM and GPS, a little black box (and this one is black!) can help you find and recover your car and even to follow its movements. It is small enough to be hidden away easily. It uses very little power.

That is not all this little black box can do. With a SMS message it can be configured from afar to warn you when it moves, when it leaves a predetermined area, when it moves at a speed greater than an authorized speedlimit, or when it has not arrived at its destination by a set deadline.

The range of applications are vast! Find your car when you have forgotten where you had parked it. Be warned when your truck starts moving: someone is stealing your load! Lend your car to your son: he promises to take care and not drive too fast. Watch out, son! You may not use it next week, if you do! Your dad has not arrived at his holiday destination yet? Where has he gone to this time?

It is on your portable GSM phone that the little black box will tell you: the box is called Followit. If you subscribe to the mTrack service, you can Followit on a detailed map on the Internet all over Europe.

Made in Scandinavia, Followit is available in Belgium from 4C&B (Foresee and Be!) at www.4cnb.com.
