Five Point Capital, Vehiclepath Helps Customer and Police Break Heavy
Equipment Theft Ring



San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 27, 2007 -- Brown Bros., Inc, a Chattanooga,
TN based company focused on grading, excavating, and site utilities had
several pieces of heavy equipment stolen over the last few years. Earlier
this year Brown Bros contacted Vehiclepath? and purchased several GPS
tracking units to monitor the locations of their heavy equipment.

 "We were interested in tracking our heavy equipment for two reasons. Over
the past several years we've had more than $350,000 worth of heavy equipment
stolen. Through depreciation and deductibles, our out of pocket expense has
been significant. The second reason is the difficulty in keeping track of
smaller pieces of equipment. It wasn't unusual for us to spend hours
tracking down a backhoe or skid steer that we've lost track of," explained
Frank Geismar, Brown Bros. Project Manager.

 Recently Brown Bros had a brand new CAT skid steer stolen over the weekend.
The skid steer was equipped with a Vehiclepath GPS tracking unit. Within
minutes Frank was able to log on and know exactly where his stolen skid
steer was located. He telephoned the police and the sheriff's department and
gave them the exact location of where they could recover the stolen
equipment. They recovered the unit along with 6 other pieces of stolen heavy
equipment valued at over $300,000. The skid steer was back on the job site
by noon.

 Companies are also using Vehiclepath for fleet management where they can
view all their vehicles on one web page, dispatch the nearest vehicle to
their customer, and view online daily or monthly reports of mileage, speed
and stops. Most customers recognize the return on their GPS investment in
less than 30 days.
