Ontario PD Crushes Cars
| On February 28th Ontario PD crushed two "street race" vehicles and they have several more waiting in the queue. Law enforcement has learned that giving the vehicle back to the violator, minus the stolen engine and or transmission, only tempts the thief to go steal another engine or transmission, creating more crime.

On Sunday March 11, we assisted Bell Police Department in a street racing enforcement. Just after midnight, with the help of several other law enforcement agencies, they blocked in approximately 60 vehicles for illegally street racing. After many impounded vehicles and citations, approximately 7 vehicles were seized because they had stolen engines and/or transmissions in them.
Drifter given Death Sentence
Execution orders were issued against a man in Saudi Arabia who caused the death of two boys while drifting. Several drifting videos have been appearing from Saudi Arabia lately and I would think this might have a deterrent effect. For more on this story Click Here.

Affordable OBD VIN reading
| $49.95 is the cost of this generic OBD reader costs. We are now working with Autel Intelligent Technology to create an affordable alternative to capturing OBD ECU VINs. We have pulled VINs from 2000 model year Land Rovers, 2001 Fords, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouths, Kia, Honda, Toyota, GM and many others. It works with all 1996 and newer cars & light trucks that are OBD II compliant (including the CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO and KWP 2000 protocols). Currently the Geniscan GS300 will not pull out older VINs as our other OBD ECU VIN software does, nor does it go into the same detail or save the data, but it is quick, easy, and very affordable.
