hensley Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well for the last 3 days someone has parked a car on our street and I think it might have been stolen, so instead of calling it in and having it impounded I thought I might advertise it here. White Buick Century with MX state plates. Is it yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen this just outside Rancho de Oro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothernewbie Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 We have a car that parks right near our door and often stays for a week or more. We know it is a neighbor who lives on the block above us. Apparently, they don't use the car often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensley Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 We found the owner and yes it was stolen, so they were happy to get their car back and not deal with the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensley Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 They notified me through a message on Facebook, there were no keys in the car and they had the other set of keys, they opened it, thanked me and off they went. There is also a website you can check and see if a car is stolen. http://qroo.us/2018/02/10/mexico-this-app-will-tell-you-if-a-vehicle-is-stolen-and-notify-the-cops-if-it-is/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 There is no- way without some type of transmitters in you auto's this will work. I think you are confusing your positioning with Google maps or something similar. No wonder we did not get an explanation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy2013 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 When I bought my cars both had Bluetooth. I connected Bluetooth from each car to my phone, it then recognized both. So now wherever I am I can see where either car is or where it is parked. Nothing special was installed or done. When I go to maps I can see exactly where the cars are no matter where I am.

RickS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Apps mentioned above require one to proactively 'mark' their car when it is parked. Probably sends a GPS signal which can then direct the owner when trying to find the vehicle. Daisy mentioned no such proactive 'marking' in her Post so car must be emitting bluetooth signals whether running or not. Either that or GPS coordinates being transmitted dynamically. Otherwise, I have no clue how that can be done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Bluetooth has max range of 100mtr. So outside that must be gps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
