Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Hijackers could be in for a nasty surprise if they steal a vehicle equipped with a new security system from i-mob.

The system provides remote management of vehicles via a mobile phone and can be set to automatically dial a vehicle owner or fleet man

ager if a vehicle is stolen. They can then remotely switch the engine off next time the vehicle comes to a halt, forcing thieves or hijackers to abandon it. Vehicle location data makes for easy recovery.

The system also allows vehicle managers to check on vehicle speed at any time, and can be set to alert them to other conditions like a flat battery or open doors, as well as the option to talk to the vehicle's occupants.

The cost of the new system, which is based on a converted GPS unit with GSM capability and is compatible with Orange, 02 and Vodafone networks, is from £825 (ex-VAT) for installation, with a monthly GSM rental of £9.95 per unit and initial annual subscription of £50,

Around 1,500 vehicles have already been fitted and of 15 stolen, every one has been recovered.
