What do you want to track - and do you want to do it overtly or covertly? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

I have two cars BUT only one parking space by our apartment - I also have a lock-up garage (which I own) located in a small plot of land which has its own high wall and gates an is surrounded on three sides by gardens of houses BUT it is three miles away so I can not see the car that is parked there nor the the plot from our windows 
So ideally it should be a system that alerts me and/or a central monitoring station when tampered with and can be tracked and a system that the police will respond to.
I suppose I should also have some system on the plot and/or garage door BUT not one that will upset neighbours with its noise. 
PS the plot and garage has mains electricity. 8) LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

Fit whats regarded as the Best in the Tracking World.
http://www.tracker.co.uk/TRACKER/ProductDetails/Car.aspx
I have, been on mine since purchase. Most Police traffic units are Tracker equipped and the equipment draws the unit to the stolen vehicle, unlike aftermarket detection units that comunicate with the police.
Several levels of cover as expected, and an annual subscription, but at least you'll know its safe.

Hi
I recommended it because it is one of the latest systems and has a lot of new features and dosnt use a lot of power as per the older type systems that have been around for a while.

Plenty of systems out there, list here are just a few. Don't ask where mine is fitted cos I don't even know. I think the level of cover being offered and annual subscription is the key factor.
Plus also the benefits of such a system fitted will alsmost certainly benefit from a reduction in insurance premiums, and thats a benefit too as your in London.

 Had a tracker monitor fitted to my Harley , good product , as I moved it from my front garden, to wash it in the road , they would ring up straight away to say ,
Sir your bikes been moved , is that you ,
Very sensitive , and worth it , as to insurance discount , thats rubbish , as I had that and a ground anchor and 5 chains and an alarm and immobiliser , did that make a difference , only in peace of mind my insurance went up every year , I made no claim , if I had a garage , I would have got a discount , maybe 50p .. Other than that tracker are the best. 2008 ,hse, it does what it says .
