How good is Ravelco? You decide.

›› Dodge Ram

Below are pictures and the story of my buddy's truck after a failed theft attempt that was thwarted by the Ravelco Security system on 8/5/2007. While the thieves did extensive damage to his truck, I think it's a testament to the efficacy of the system. I had this system installed in my new Power Wagon after my Ram 1500 was stolen X-mas of 2006. While unfortunate that this happened to Chris, it has served to bolster my faith in Ravelco. After the police were done, Chris popped in his Ravelco key and started the truck with a screwdriver. They were that close, but without the Ravelco key they just couldn't get it running.

Granted, he's looking at a few thousand in damages, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the $60,000 his truck is estimated to be worth after all the performance mods, lift, tires, and about $1,000 in Recon lighting he won in a contest. This doesn't even take into account all the time and energy he put in to mod his truck to where it is now. So, without further ado, here's his story.

Today I was woken up by my neighbor at 6:33 AM. I opened the door and she yelled "They tried to steal your truck and it's in the middle of the street". Armed with my digital camera and cell phone, I went out to assess the damage and call the cops. They came out pretty fast (comparatively speaking) in about an hour to take the report and then later, crime scene showed up and tried to get some prints.Well, they sure did give it a gallant effort, tearing up the interior pretty badly, but they only got away with a pack of smokes, a couple compact discs and my cell phone charger. I'm pretty mad, but at least I still got my truck.

›› Acura Integra GSR

"I knew when I bought my Acura Integra GSR that they are some of the most frequently stolen vehicles out there, which is exactly why I equipped the car with a Ravelco and a Lojack system. It took less then 2 months for my car to disappear out of my driveway. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It took Lojack 3 days to locate my car and they found it a quarter mile away from my house! My car then was towed to the nearby Acura dealership to be put back together. Both the police crime scene investigator and the Ravelco installer came out to look at the car and it was determined that my car was never actually started! The thieves broke into my car and pushed it out of the driveway then based on the scuffmarks on the back bumper pushed it with another vehicle down the street where they tried to hotwire it with no success. Ravelco then installed a brand new system in my car free of charge as it is covered in my warranty. Thank you Ravelco for saving my car."

›› Ford F-350

"Early in 2007 we had the RAVELCO installed on four of our F350 pickup trucks after one was broken into and the winch stolen off of it. This year we've had two attempts now to steal one of these trucks and both failed miserably due to the RAVELCO. The first attempt was actually caught by our security camera and you can see the thief get through the fence and then pop the door lock to easily get into the truck. But then for the next 45 mins you can see the lights go on / off while they attempt to start the vehicle.

Finally their cohorts drive by again and pick them up because they CAN'T GET THE TRUCK STARTED! This latest attempt happened just before the July 4th weekend (2009) and while I haven't seen the security camera footage I grabbed some pictures to send to you - I especially like the picture that shows the damaged steering column with the RAVELCO right there! What a GREAT product! It definitely works as advertised!" Cary Snyder, Emergency Response Team Sprint Texas Market
