StolenCar 1.2

The official app for StolenCar.com provides access to a geographically relevant list of missing vehicles, giving users the ability to photograph and submit suspected stolen vehicle license plates for verification. Valuable information that aids in recovering a missing vehicle is rewarded with a generous cash and non-cash prize.

According to the FBI, the theft of automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles in Canada and the USA leads to annual losses of $7 billion, with an average dollar loss per theft amounting to $7,680. This financial impact can be devastating for vehicle owners without theft coverage and burdens insurance carriers, subsequently affecting consumers.

The app, known as The Nation's Neighborhood Watch for Stolen Vehicles, aims to empower ordinary citizens to play a crucial role in preventing car theft by making it harder for thieves to conceal their stolen vehicles.

Here is an overview of how the app functions:

1. Victims of auto-theft submit their vehicle details on the StolenCar.com website.
2. Registered users receive email and text alerts within the vicinity where the theft occurred.
3. Social media platforms are utilized to inform local communities about the missing vehicle.
4. Users access geographically relevant lists of missing vehicles on the StolenCar.com smartphone app.
5. Registered users keep watch for the stolen vehicle and report its location to local authorities, becoming eligible for a reward upon successful recovery.
6. Users can capture photos of license plates, which are cross-referenced against databases of stolen vehicles to assist law enforcement in recovery operations.
7. A reward is granted to the individual whose photo matches a recovered vehicle's license plate.

It is important to exercise extreme caution when acquiring any identification information about a vehicle. Users should avoid putting themselves at risk and refrain from confronting anyone regarding a suspected stolen vehicle. Reporting the vehicle's location to local law enforcement and recording tips on the StolenCar.com platform are recommended measures. By using the app or reporting vehicles, users agree not to hold AssetGuard LLC responsible for any related damages.

In addition to license plate photography, the app features a barcode scanning functionality that can read StolenCar.com Vehicle ID stickers when affixed to vehicles. These decals are registered in the National Vehicle Identification Program's database (NVIP.org) and facilitate determining a vehicle's ownership through a unique Vehicle ID sticker code.
