Datadot spray on security
www.datadotsecurity.com or www.datadot.co.za sprays thousands of micro dots on the vehicle. With a http://www.donthijackme.co.za sticker on the bumper the thief can determine if the vehicle does have micro dots or not by looking up the registration number on the website. This database should be available in a text file for easy downloading. Thus crime syndicates can keep local copies on their PCs. Or the criminals can access the site using Anonomizer software. Everything is done so that the crime syndicates can know exactly what vehicles have tracking devices. See GpsAndGprs. This is why hardly any http://www.escom.co.za and http://www.telkom.co.za bakkies gets hijacked. The syndicates knows that every single vehicle of theirs has a tracking device.

From http://www.datadot.co.za website "...Cellphones, DVD players, Office Equipment, Personal Computers, Digital Cameras, Quad Bikes, Jet Ski’s and other personal valuables are marked with DataDots and linked to the exclusive Micro Asset Tracking database. Each unique pin number is registered on the Micro Asset Tracking SA National database. Client details are linked to each individual pin number. "

My view is that this database should not be exclusive but freely available to the criminals and public. For example there was a story in the newspaper about a taxi being hijacked. About 500m from the spot where they took the vehicle they noticed it was datadotted. They stopped the taxi and abandoned it. But the driver had a gun pressed against his head. Had he been able to convince the hijackers that he the vehicle was datadotted they would not have hijaced him to begin with in the first place. And the same logic can be extended to residences.

Bluffing won't work but will only get you killed. Like this pathetic sticker on the back of cars:"Protected by satellite". Nobody believes it. No, the crook must be able to phone in your number plate to the syndicate who will cross-check the number on their local copy of vehicles downloaded from http://www.donthijack.co.za. This website integrity must be beyond dispute. A person must be able to prove to Donthijack.co.za that they do indeed have a subscription with http://www.netstar.co.za or a M-10000 embedded PC with GpsAndGprs. In the same way that http://www.telkom.co.za and http://www.escom.co.za don't have to bluff - everybody is convinced their vehicles are being tracked in realtime.
