GPS Tracking Technology Leads to Cheaper Vehicles
How to buy a new car, truck or SUV for just a few $100 dollars.
A new web service is offering access to 1000s of cheap vehicles in North America that have been seized by US Government authorities. Many of these vehicles were seized using GPS tracking devices placed by the finance companies to catch ’bad debtors’.
A costly problem to finance companies are fraudsters who take out a car loan for a high value vehicle and then don’t pay any of the installments, mainly because the vehicle is going to be sold on or smuggled out of the country. To combat this, finance companies covertly fit a GPS tracking device that can be activated as soon as payments are stopped, not made and when then ’owner’ stops responding to finance companies calls.
The gps tracking device is activated and a collector is called up to go and retrieve the vehicle. These vehicles are then seized by the police, IRS, Customs or DEA. After a period of time, they are then put back on the market through approved government auctions.
A new company, Seize Cars enables searchers of these auctions to look up a specific car make and model and find the nearest government car auction taking place near their zip code. For small fee - usually $69 but reduced at the moment to $49 - many people have located a ridiculously cheap car and either sold it on or used it themselves….and then sold it on later for a fat profit.

With more than 20 million freight containers currently circulating the world it is surprising that only about 2 percent are physically inspected, according to ABI Research. For good reason, security experts have warned of doomsday scenarios involving unchecked containers that may harbor terrorists, explosives, or other hazardous materials. For this reason, Global Tracking Technologies have integrated an enhanced container security system using the very latest in technologies such as RFID, cellular and satellite communications. This total solution promises substantial commercial benefits from a security, supply chain and enterprise resource planning (ERP) perspective. 
The container security device is positioned inside an intermodal cargo container and registers any opening of the container door. Fixed and handheld readers at critical points along the supply chain collect container status from the device and report it. 
Spoornet, the rail transport division of Transnet, a diversified organization for the South African government, will equip their general freight rail fleet of 80,000 wagons with TransCore’s radio frequency identification (RFID)-based Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) technology in a multimillion dollar contract to improve asset maintenance and utilization. TransCore is teaming with ANSYS Integrated Systems to deliver an initial order of 160,000 tags. The project is scheduled for completion in 2008.
