GPS tracks and recovers stolen Kitchen Stove

Another crime doesn't pay story. I recently read a news article that caught my eye about the benefit of utilizing GPS. It seems that a builder in southwest Oaklahoma City was in the process of building a new home and had been hit by burglaries a few times, stealing building supplies and home appliances. Being a practical, yet frustrated guy the builder hid a GPS device in the recently installed oven. It seems that it didn't take long for the device to begin tracking a stove on the move. The builder contacted police who said they found stacks of appliances in the man's home, and in a little twist of irony the arrested man had installed surveillance cameras on his house to keep tabs on the stolen property.

This is a great example of how asset tracking or GPS fleet management can pay for itself in asset recovery. If you know of another example of how an asset management solution aided or assisted in asset recovery, please share your story with us!
