Here are some interesting stories from our big rig and heavy equipment customers . . .
"In October of 2004, we had two of our FREIGHTLINER rigs stolen, the thieves drove them right through our wrought iron fence! That wasn't bad enough but one of our lowboy trailers was ferrying a $545,000 BACK HOE, and the other had a $165,000 DOZER on it. The trucks were found a month later in Mexico, sadly the backhoe and dozer are still missing. After we installed your Ravelco Anti Theft Device in all 23 of our trucks . . . not one piece of equipment has been stolen! The police said there is an active theft ring in Mexico doing this to heavy equipment in Arizona and New Mexico. Unfortunately, we still have had two theft attempts but they could not steal our trucks. This letter is to just say thanks. We have had anti theft devices installed on our trucks before that just interrupted the key or the starter but they were easily bypassed. Even our own employees could do it. But, since your Ravelco system disables the engine's computer system it has proven itself effective to us." - Paul T., Flagstaff, Arizona
"This past November, the day before Thanksgiving we had 3 of our new Freightliner Tractors stolen from our storage lot. Two of them are most likely gone forever and one was recovered trying to crossover into Mexico. It took 4 weeks to get our truck back. In late December, we installed your RAVELCO THEFT LOCK SYSTEM on all of our remaining trucks. On February 23, 2004, once again the fence was cut and thieves tried to steal our trucks again. I say tried because they couldn't start them. Thanks Ravelco for saving our trucks. Incidentally, one of the trucks your Ravelco saved was named after my six week old daughter Amanda." - Dave S., El Paso, Texas
"Approximately 4 months ago, we contacted your company and purchased only 4 of your Ravelco Anti Theft Systems for our KENWORTH trucks. When they arrived the owner looked at them and said for us to install and test them on the older trucks only, because to be honest with you they didn’t look like much in the box. Boy, were we surprised!, after following your installation instructions our own shop mechanic couldn’t start the KENWORTH truck. When our owner saw this, we immediately ordered 54 more Ravelcos. I know this letter is short and sweet but I just wanted to say thanks for keeping our trucks safe and to give us the comfort of knowing our trucks will be there exactly where we parked them."- Tommy C., Kansas City, Missouri
"Thanks to the Ravelco, for saving our three Bobcats and two CASE 580L front end loaders (backhoes). Having a rental company for the last nine years we have had all kinds of equipment stolen. In can honestly say that in the past year (since we installed the Ravelco) not one vehicle has been stolen from a jobsite. I am sure your Ravelco system has stopped the thefts." - D. S. Starchy, Dallas, Texas
"We had our entire fleet fitted with your Ravelco system. We tried 6 different types of systems before yours. We even tried one that kept the truck running but it would shut down if someone other than the owner tried to drive it. Sounds good on paper but what a piece of crap. We had nothing but problems. The Ravelco is so simple to use and our drivers can finally have a good nights sleep, knowing that in the morning their rigs will still there." - Butch H., Provo, Utah
"I am the route supervisor for a vending company in New York City, our trucks were getting stolen at a rate of 2 per quarter. When our drivers are in buildings, restocking machines and so forth, their trucks are vulnerable to any thief. Not only does the thief steal the truck but all our inventory, cigarettes, safe and our radios that we communicate with. This has been going on since the late 70's. Why did it take so long for our company to find you guys? Thank you, since March of 2004, like your sales pitch goes . . . . . not one vehicle has been stolen!" - Bill S., Yonkers, NY
Here are some from our personal vehicle files . . .
"I just wanted to thank you again for the Ravelco. It hasn't even been a month since you installed it, and last night someone tried stealing my Honda Civic in the garage I park at. They smashed my driver's side window in, and disabled the horn of my car alarm. It was obvious that stealing my car was their sole intention, because NOTHING was taken from my car. The car needs to be towed and have its ignition fixed, but that's better than it needing to be found. Seeing the Ravelco in its "passive action" definitely has put me at ease about spending a little extra money on having it installed. I know I would never forgive myself had I not had it installed and this happened. Thank you." - Kolapo DaSilva, Silver Spring, Maryland
Our Ford F350 truck was stolen in January of 2005. We were very lucky because we got the truck back in excellent condition. I did research and made the decision to install a Ravelco kill switch in the truck. This morning we woke up and discovered that someone had attempted to steal our truck again in the middle of the night. The ignition was cracked and a screwdriver in its place. But the truck was still parked in the driveway! I can't thank you enough for a product that allows me to sleep at night knowing that my highly desireable vehicle is safe in my driveway! I have recommended your product to everyone I know and will continue to do so. We are living proof that it works! Thank you again!! - Janet C., Phoenix, AZ
Our 97 Dodge Sport 4X4 P/U was the target of an attempted theft in early May 2006. Fortunately, the thieves were inept and did so much damage to the steering column, that the truck could not be started. A couple weeks prior to this we had become area sales reps for Ravelco and had scheduled the installation for the following week. We had it installed immediately after getting the truck back from the repair shop. Several days later we woke up to discover that they had tried to steal our truck again during the night! The ignition was damaged, but the police figure it was startable this time. The only reason it wasn't stolen was the Ravelco did exactly what it was designed to do. - Joe C., Williams Lake, BC sales rep, BC - Northern Interior
