In Catania, at the end of August, a Client contacted the Viasat Operations Centre to notify the theft of a Fiat Punto, parked the previous evening. The operator alerted the Police indicating the position detected. The vehicle was found abandoned at the place indicated.
According to most recent statistics, the Panda was the most frequently stolen car in 2013 followed the Punto and Uno.
Therefore, Fiat compact cars are the preferred target of car thieves. Until a few years ago, there was a tendency to install satellite devices only on vehicles of very high value. Alarmed perhaps by these data or encouraged by the discount on their insurance policy, an increasing number of Clients are fitting devices also on medium/small cars.
