In 2023, a shocking surveillance video from Arvada, Colorado, went viral. It showed a large car carrier, loaded with 9 brand-new vehicles, parked temporarily by the roadside. In under just one hour, three cars-positioned at the front and rear edges-were silently stolen.
Even more alarming? The entire theft took less than 10 minutes. The thieves wore high-visibility vests, impersonating workers, and unloaded the vehicles one by one without drawing attention. Passersby and nearby vehicles didn't suspect a thing. The theft was only discovered later by a repair shop manager, who immediately called the police.
Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated case.
Similar thefts have occurred across several North American cities, as well as in countries like Mexico. Our clients reported that vehicle theft during transportation has become a routine risk—especially for cars parked in outer positions on the trailer.
Our client operates a car carrier transportation business. Their trailers frequently need to park in service areas, repair shops, or transit hubs. But these stops exposed them to significant theft risks:
Outer-layer vehicles were the most vulnerable to theft
Parking areas were poorly monitored, with many blind spots
There was no real-time alert if a vehicle was stolen or moved
Difficulties in tracing responsibility after a theft
Declining customer satisfaction due to unresolved losses
To overcome the challenge of "invisible and uncontrollable" theft risk, the client adopted Jointech's Electronic GPS Lock JT705A . The lock was installed on the wheels of each outer-layer vehicle, acting as a physical clamp plus smart control system.
Deployment Details:
JT705A installed on each outer car's tire, featuring tamper-proof design
Connected to online monitoring platform
⚠️ Equipped with geo-fencing, unlock permissions, and alert settings
With the JT705A solution in place, the logistics company built a robust anti-theft system that was visible, controllable, and traceable:
1. Motion Detection + Instant Alerts
If a vehicle is tilted or moved illegally, the lock triggers an instant alarm and sends notifications to the monitoring platform.
2. Real-Time GPS Tracking
Fleet managers can track the exact location of every outer-layer car. Any unauthorized movement will trigger a GPS alert.
3. Remote Unlock Authorization
All unlock operations must be approved through the platform. This prevents unauthorized unlocking by drivers or third parties.
4. Full Data Records
Every lock/unlock action, alert, and location change is automatically logged—supporting accountability and dispute resolution.
5. Dual Protection
Combining physical locking with smart technology makes it far harder for thieves to bypass the system with simple tools.
Since implementing the JT705A smart locks, no outer-layer vehicle has been stolen. The customer has significantly improved fleet security and strengthened customer trust.
This case proves the JT705A's critical role in modern car transportation. It provides real-time control, visibility, and peace of mind—helping logistics companies stay ahead of organized theft.
Jointech continues to innovate in smart asset security using multimodal sensing, AI vision, edge computing, and big data analysis—empowering global fleets with intelligent, reliable, and secure monitoring solutions. It is not just a GPS lock. It represents a shift in how fleet security is handled: From "Reacting to theft" → to "Preventing it before it happens."
