NavLynx: Car thieves stole the wrong car last week when they drove away in a Chrysler Intrepid from a Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario Thrifty car rental agency. When the car was found to be stolen, Thrifty contacted NavLynx Technology which had installed a GPS / cellular anti theft system. Though the system, the three teenagers in the car were informed that they were driving the car illegally and to pull over. The thieves threw the car phone out the window and accelerated up to 160 km/hr trying to elude police, but they were already caught. NavLynx vice-president Frank Bunn, who was tracking the car using GPS technology informed the police of its position. He then waited until the car was stopped at an intersection and disabled the car remotely. The system is also capable of raising windows and locking doors. The youth were arrested immediately thereafter. The rental car agency is part of a NavLynx pilot project. NavLynx is based out of Toronto (Toronto Star Peel).
