TECHNOLOGY; On Your Own Trail: The New Tracking Devices

By REBECCA FAIRLEY RANEY (NYT) 863 words

Late Edition - Final, Section G, Page 26, Column 1

LEAD PARAGRAPH

- DRIVERS who buy cars with manufacturer-installed navigation systems have the comfort of knowing that if the vehicles crash or break down, someone will know how to find the people in them.
Thomas Richardson installed a different system in the fleet of cars he owns, and reaps a different kind of satisfaction. Like the better-known devices installed by the General Motors Corporation and Mercedes-Benz, the system he put in uses cellular airwaves and a global positioning system. But Mr. Richardson, who operates a collection agency in Lafayette, La., can also check a Web site to see where his cars are at any time. If a car is stolen, he receives an e-mail and a telephone call, allowing him to lock the doors, set off the horn and shut down the car from his phone, leaving the car thief trapped if not perplexed.
