Five Point Capital, Vehiclepath Helps Customer and Police Break Heavy Equipment Theft Ring<br><br><br><br> 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.<p>
</p><p>
"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.</p><p>
</p><p>
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.</p><p>

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.</p><p>
