• A haulier who was a victim of truck theft when his tracking system failed is to receive an updated unit free of charge.
David Cannell claimed the recovery of a 1991 Scania 360, stolen from his yard on the West Portway Industrial Estate, Andover (CM 14-20 August), was in no part due to the £350 Tracker Network unit fitted.
Cannell explains that an audit on the vehicle was carried out by Tracker Network on Saturday 16 August, but adds that it did not find the reason for the failure because the system itself could not be located. "I am at a loss to explain why cannot be found," says Cannell.
Ralph Kanter, chairman of Tracker Network believes that the tracker unit may have been missing since before the theft. "We know where these units are located, and this particular unit was not there," he says.
An updated system the Track 24-hour monitor will,
says Kanter, be installed in the truck for no charge.
