Once the police were informed that he had a GPS Tracking Device (FIN™) installed on the bike, we were contacted immediately to assist in the recovery process. We were instantly able to provide Barry and the Officer with details of where the bike had been, the direction it was currently traveling, its speed, and up-to-the-second location information. It wasn't long before they had exited North Carolina and entered South Carolina. At that point the local PD got in touch with the SC State Police and informed them of a theft in progress and directed them to Interstate 77 where they immediately began looking for Barry's bike. We could detect that the bike was not running so at this point we knew it was in the back of a truck or van. Approximately 80 miles away, as we know the thief had noticed Police all over, he turned around and headed back in the direction he came from and surely passed the Police following close behind. At 2:11am the vehicle had stopped and at 2:20am the Police communicated with us that they had the van with the bike inside in their possession. The thief pulled to the side of the road, jumped out of the van and escaped into a wooded area right as the Police pulled up from behind. He had to know they were hot on his trail. Come to find out, the van was stolen also as the ignition was ripped apart and the van had been left running. |

While we stayed on the line the entire time with the Customer it was nice to hear the excitement and relief in his voice once his bike was recovered. Barry knows all too well how it feels to have a bike stolen as about 6 months ago he had a 2011 GSXR750 stolen and never recovered.
"I had a 2011 Gixxer stolen in April
and after that I knew I was gonna put a FIN on the next one. I am so
happy I did. Thank You FIN!!"

Stops a Motor
Coach Theft
Recovery Time: 41 minutes
Will received a text ALERT at 2:12AM on 6/12/12 that there was Motion on his Motor Coach. Will called the FIN™ Tracking Center where FIN™ started monitoring the Motor Coach while Will called the Police.
The Police arrived at the Motor Coach at 2:55 am and found two individuals in the process of removing the TV's, Microwave, Sound System and other personal items.
Everything of value was stacked by the entrance door for a quick unload once everything was disconnected. Both men were arrested and the Motor Coach was spared.
Will says "without the FIN™ Early Warning System he would have lost everything on board the Coach; thousands of dollar were saved. Thanks to FIN™ and the Police department."
UTV
RECOVERY:
2010 Yamaha Rhino
At 11:21PM on
April 7th, 2012, Troy was alerted via a text message and email that
his 2010 Yamaha Rhino had been moved at his farm in a rural part of
Nebraska. Troy was at home in bed and 30 miles away. He then
jumped out of bed and went to his computer to track and locate his
Rhino and saw that is was moving at 75mph. As we know the Rhino is
not capable of those speeds we knew it was on a truck or trailer. He
then called the FIN Tracking Center at 11:30PM and we immediately
located the UTV on a deserted back road. Our Tracking Center
communicated with the local sheriff's department at 11:38pm and
advised them of a "theft in progress" and provided a description of
the UTV and its GPS location. An Officer was dispatched and had
located the UTV at approximately 12:10am about 50 yards off the road
stashed out of site. The Deputy commented that they would have never
seen it if it wasn't for the FIN GPS and the accurate coordinates it
provided that was within inches of the actual location.
Several Officers then staked out the location overnight in hopes of
catching the thieves as it appeared they unloaded it from a Dually
(according to the tire tracks left) and intended on coming back
later to pick up the UTV. After nearly 12 hours, the Officers
decided to recover the UTV and return it to the rightful Owner.
Although we all would have liked to have made an arrest, it was most
important to recover the UTV with no damage and prevent a loss to
Troy of his much needed UTV which is used almost daily on his farm.
Here is what Troy had to say:
"I am so happy I decided to get FIN installed and I know now that I
probably would have never seen my Rhino again if it were not for FIN
, The FIN Tracking Center and the Officer's that acted quickly. I
will recommend FIN to all my friends."

RECOVERED:
2009 Suzuki Hayabusa
Homestead, FL -
11-2-11 FIN™
recovered another stolen Sport Bike in South Florida. FIN's
24/7/365 Theft Recovery Center was notified at 2:38am on 11-2-11
that a theft had taken place on a 2009 Hayabusa 1300 Sport Bike. FIN
immediately tracked & located the stolen bike using its state of the
art GPS Tracking & Recovery System.
The location and all other data were communicated to the Miami Dade Police Department which acted quickly and was at the site in a matter of minutes. After several hours of monitoring the position of the stolen bike, Detectives along with multiple Police Officers soon secured the stolen bike.
This was not the only theft this thief was responsible for as another stolen bike that was taken in August of 2011 was also recovered along with drugs and weapons. The Owner was very excited about getting their bike back and getting another thief off the streets.
"Our thanks to the Detectives and Police Officers from the Miami Dade Police Department for their prompt actions and assistance in another great recovery"
Here is
what Melissa had to say...
"Thank you so much for all your help. I am so glad that Riva
Motor Sports sold me FIN™
GPS. I have told
many of my friends about FIN and how great it works. Great Customer
Service and without FIN on my bike I would have never got it back.
The Detectives were so impressed with how accurate the FIN GPS
System was and how it alerted me so quickly. I was still getting
alerts on my phone as I was standing next to the officers while they
were retrieving my bike from inside the thief's home.
Thanks again for all your help!"

RECOVERED:
2008 SUZUKI GSXR1000
...And Many More Bikes
Jacksonville, NC - 04-01-2011 FIN™ Early Warning GPS Security System leads Police to a major theft ring
operating out of South Carolina.
At 4:26 AM the FIN™ Tracking Center received a theft notification
from the owner of a GSXR1000. They immediately started tracking the bike
and saw it was heading for South Carolina. The FIN Tracking Center
interacted with the Jacksonville Police who said they had several bike
thefts this night. When the bike stopped moving it was in Sumter, South
Carolina over 200-miles from where it was stolen.
The FIN Tracking Center contacted the Sumter Police and informed them
that they had the location of the bike stolen from Jacksonville. The
Sumter Police acted on the information provided by FIN Security and when
they arrived at the location pin-pointed by FIN they found a major theft
ring and multiple bikes in various states of disassemble.
Our thanks go out to
the Jacksonville, NC and the Sumter,
South Carolina Police Departments
The Owner of the GSXR1000 had this
to say.....
"I will be telling all my Marine buddies about FIN and how you recovered
my bike. Not only that, you guy's kept me informed the entire time up to
and including the Founder of FIN calling to reassure me that my bike
would be recovered.
I feel very lucky to have purchased FIN with my new bike, knowing that
it was stolen by professionals without FIN it would have been history.
All I can say is FIN GPS is a must...
Thank you very Much!"

RECOVERY OF STOLEN UTV:
KAWASAKI MULE
At 6:25am on January 9, 2011, Terry was alerted via text message
that his UTV had been moved. He then called the FIN™ Tracking
Center to report the theft. He was instructed to call the Police in
his area and report the theft. Once that was done, Terry was on the
phone with our FIN™ Tracking Center again, where we located and had
been monitoring movement on his Mule. After making contact with the
local Authorities, we immediately sent over aerial views of where
the Mule was located along with constant updates of movements taking
place. At 8:40am, the Police had located the UTV and had the thief
in custody.
The thief had just started taking the Mule apart and was removing
the wheels and tires. He had no idea he was being tracked the entire
time. Come to find out, this was not his first time being arrested,
as he had 2 prior arrests for receiving stolen property
This is what Terry had to say...
"It was a pleasure having you guys on my side as your people stayed
on the line with me and kept me up to speed on what was happening
almost the entire time. I am so happy I decided to install a FIN and
will always be a believer and tell all my friends that I got my Mule
back because of FIN. I will be purchasing a boat in the spring and
plan on installing a FIN on it too."

STOLEN BOAT RECOVERY:
26' SEA FOX
At 10:45
pm on December 20, 2010, Rob was alerted via text message that his
Boat had been moved. He immediately called the Police to report
the theft and then called the FIN™ Tracking Center. FIN was notified
at 10:52pm and tracked & located Rob's boat just north east of New
Orleans and appeared to be under a bridge. It was only a few minutes
later that we got a battery disconnect notification but continued to
track the boat. At 11:10pm we were able to communicate with the
local Authorities and provided them with the lat/long location of
the boat. The officer stayed on the line with our Tracking Center as
we gave him up to date information as the boat was ashore at the
time the battery was disconnected. At 11:52pm, the Marine Patrol
along with local Police Officers had the thieves in custody as they
attempted to trailer the boat. One of the thieves had made a comment
to the Officer and asked him "how did you know the boat was stolen?"
The Officer responded "the Owner had a GPS Tracker on it".
This is what Rob had to say after his boat was recovered...
"Thank you for all your help in getting my boat back to me so
quickly. After having my last boat stolen and being told about FIN
from a friend, I knew I would not own another one without having
better security on it. FIN apparently was the way to go and saved me
thousands of dollars. I will tell all my friends about FIN.
Thank you again"

MOTORCYCLE VEHICLE RECOVERY:
2009 HARLEY ULTRA GLIDE
On
6-27-2010 at 3:40 am Mark called us here at FIN as he was awaken to
a text message at 3:32am. It was a message that his 2009 Harley
Ultra Glide had been moved. At that point, Mark threw on some
clothes, ran downstairs and noticed what appeared to be a flatbed
truck pulling away. We tracked and located Mark's bike in a matter
of seconds heading south on Interstate 5 in California. As Mark was
speaking to the police, we were also in contact with the
authorities, as they were informed that we were tracking the theft
in progress. After noticing the bike had stopped moving and was now
located at a rest area just off the Interstate, we sent a map with
the bike's exact location directly to the Police Dispatch.
At 4:45 AM, Police were at the location with the truck and Mark's
bike in site. It turned out the truck had also been stolen. Mark's
bike was returned later that morning with no damage, good as new.
Mark was very thankful as he had about $15,000 in custom parts and
accessories on his bike and would have been very hard to replace.
Here is what Mark had to say:
"I want to thank all of you at Find It Now for you quick response
and efforts in recovering my baby. It has taken me almost a year to
customize my bike the way I wanted, with some of that work
customized to my personal specifications since I am 6'9" and 300lbs.
I would not have it today if it had not been for FIN and your staff.
I will surely tell everyone I know about FIN and what a great
product it is. The best money I have spent in many years !!!
Thank you again...god bless you all !!"
MOTORCYCLE VEHICLE RECOVERY:
2005 YAMAHA R1
On
6-18-2010 at 10:25am Shawn called us here at FIN in a frantic mood,
telling us "they got it"..."they got it". After pulling up
Shawn's Account we were able to tell him exactly where it was
located. (See Below) We then communicated with the Police Department
and gave them the location of his bike and sent them a screen shot
of a map that showed them the exact location. The Police were at the
location in about 15 minutes and located the bike where FIN showed
it to be. At 11:01am, we received a return email from the Police
Department that it had been recovered.
Many thanks to the Coral Springs & Pompano Beach Police Departments for their prompt actions.
Here is what Shawn had to say.....
"Beyond words can only describe my thanks
for the FIN system I installed into my 2005 Yamaha R1 (Raven).
Having spent almost the full value of the bike on aftermarket
add-ons, its value is hard to hide. Custom full exhaust, power
commander, port/ polish, mill, & a balanced engine makes for a real
screamer... Guess the thieves thought so too...
Trying not to panic.... I called the Police & my FIN phone number stored in my cell phone. Before a squad car arrived at my home...... I was receiving my return call from Ray at Find it Now. He had located my bike in a nearby city about 40 minutes drive from my house. At this point a feeling of reassurance started to form. Police dispatched to the location found my bike in perfect condition, covered and stashed in an apartment complex. Thieves' watching in the area must have cursed when I showed up and drove off...
Keep in mind these thieves were not pros... But still got through two Huge Cable Locks, one Break Disc Lock, and a audible Alarm. They must have picked up my Bike, put it in the back of a pickup truck, strapped it down with a blanket (fibers on Velcro & rub spot on paint). FIN still tracked them in a matter of a few minutes and allowed me to get my bike back.
All said, my entire investment would have been lost had it not been for Find it Now...!
Thanks again to Ray and all of those involved at FIN for being so awesome and having such a great product...! Totally worth every penny...!
Shawn N."
POWERSPORTS VEHICLE RECOVERY:
WAVERUNNER
At 8:56 pm on May 18th, 2010, Scott was alerted via text message
that his Waverunner had been moved. He immediately looked out
towards his back dock and saw it was missing. Scott called FIN at
8:59PM and we immediately began to track and locate his Waverunner.
As Scott was on the phone with FIN and the police department on the
other line, we began to communicate with Scott and the police, in
real time, the position and direction the Waverunner was headed.
Scott soon had the police knocking on his door and remained on the
phone with FIN. The officer allowed Scott to ride along as we
continued to track the location, speed and direction of the
Waverunner. The police were traveling up the coast parallel to the
stolen Waverunner. At 9:23PM the bad guys pulled to shore at a
launch ramp, and we immediately updated the police. At 9:25PM the
police were at the dock, had guns drawn, and shortly had 3 thieves
in custody. Scott's Waverunner was returned without a scratch.
MOTORCYCLE VEHICLE RECOVERY:
2010 KAWASAKI NINJA 250
At 6:21PM on April 22nd, 2010,
Michelle was alerted via a text message that her 2010 Kawasaki Ninja
250 had been moved. Michelle then called the FIN tracking center
at 6:22PM, and the bike was immediately located. Our tracking center
communicated with the local sheriff's department at 6:28PM, advised
them of a "theft in progress", and provided a description of the
bike and its GPS location. A squad car was immediately dispatched
and had located the bike at 7:15PM. The sheriff followed the suspect
to a garage, apprehended the thief, and recovered the bike by
7:40PM. The bike was returned to Michelle that night with no damage.
Less than 1 hour and fifteen minutes from theft to recovery!
The Sherriff commented on how well the FIN system worked and how
accurate our GPS information was.
With the FIN you don't have to worry about coverage in your area, whether the local police are equipped with "special" tracking equipment, or whether they will get to your ride in time. For true peace of mind - get FIN!
IF YOUR RIDE IS
STOLEN,
WILL IT JUST END UP ON A POLICE REPORT -
OR WILL IT BE ANOTHER
FIN RECOVERY
SUCCESS STORY?
