A Bristol business owner had his van and gold pop-up bar stolen on the day of a wedding. Quick tracking led police to recover it in Nottingham.
Lewis found a replacement to cover the wedding. He reported the theft to the police. Then he told Ford, the van’s maker. Ford tracked the van using its system.
The van was already 150 miles away in Nottingham. Police in that area were alerted fast. They used the tracker to find it. The bar and drinks were still inside the van.
Lewis was very relieved about the tracker. He now suggests everyone gets one. He says it proves trackers work. His business is called The Bartender. He quickly got his van back; however, repairs took about two weeks to complete.
The bride and groom ordered a custom gold bar. Lewis arrived to find his van missing. He was very stressed by the whole situation.
Lewis felt grateful his Ford Transit had a tracker. It played a huge part in finding his van quickly. The wedding was fine because Lewis found a backup.
He thought the van and bar were gone forever. Ford Pro Telematics helped police find the van. The Bartender team improved their security measures. They added locks and alarm features. The team gets alerts if the van moves at odd times.
