Years ago I owned a Subaru WRX, was a 99 model and I bought it in perhaps 2004 - it had the most amazing tracker installed in it.
It came with 24/7 monitoring
was GPS traceable
the company could open or lock the car doors via satellite (it once worked three levels underground in a car park)
They could kill the engine remotely
it had a panic button
I owned it for a few years and never paid a dime for the monitoring but when I had an issue they still opened it for me.
The story goes if the car gets stolen they call the police and when they get behind the vehicle the gps locks the doors and kills the engine until the crooks are arrested.
I can only imagine there would be even better tech on the market now
