The Attorney General is going to authorize a group of private companies to recover and return stolen vehicles to their owners or to their insurance companies. This is all part of a plan to reduce robberies and increase recovery efforts. The companies that obtain such government approval are those that sell vehicle anti-theft devices, as well as the computer chips that allow a vehicle to be tracked by satellite. Such devices have been used successfully in the recent past and give the police not only the vehicle but also the chop shop owners, and the thieves themselves. In recent years, police efficiency in the recovery of stolen vehicles has been widely criticized in the media, and the scandal involving dozens of high-ranking police officers is still in the courts. One of the companies sell a product known as Lo Jack, a system developed by MIT. Recovery is said to be 95% to 100% if the robbery is reported within the first few hours. Orange telecom also offers a service developed by a Dominican engineer that uses technology to rapidly track stolen vehicles.
