For 30 minutes, a Volkswagen tracking service wouldn't help deputies find a stolen car with a toddler inside from Libertyville, Illinois.
A pregnant mother seriously injured trying to stop a car theft with her child inside in Libertyville has undergone surgery and is recovering.As Lake County deputies desperately tried to find a stolen Volkswagen with a toddler still inside, they reached out to Car-Net, a service that lets VW owners track their vehicles.
"The detective had to work out getting a credit card number and then call the representative back to pay the $150 and at that time the representative provided the GPS location of the vehicle," Covelli said.About 30 minutes had passed, and "we had already located the 2-year-old child and located the vehicle before they even provided us the information, so it was at that point worthless," Covelli said.
"Obviously, it's a major concern when there's information that could potentially save a life and there are major hurdles that one has to jump over to try to get that information," Covelli said. "Most companies understand those things take significant time when time is of the essence and the information is needed now to potentially save a life."
