A 2019 MT-09 and a 2009 XJ6: a failed theft thanks to Pegase Moto

Theft of two motorcycles by minors with a particular M.O. (once again) in Nantes, France

Last month, Pegase Moto helped to find a stolen MT-07 in Nantes, and a few days later, the GPS tracker prevented the theft of two more motorbikes while they were underground in a locked storage unit.

Testimony of K., who was able to react in time, thanks to the alert of suspicious movement sent by the Pegase Moto mobile application.

“On Saturday, October 30, 2021, at 8:17 a.m. exactly, I received a notification from the Pégase app indicating suspicious movement on my MT-09 SP while it was parked in a locked storage unit on level -2 of my building.

I was worried, so I went down to the basement to see what was going on and when I got to the -1 floor, I saw three young people pushing my MT-09 and my XJ6 (which was also parked in my storage unit). The thugs immediately took off running.

So I called the police who came to respond to the attempted theft. We all went to my storage unit together, whose door had been broken. It was clear that mine was the only one with a broken door.

During all of this, we had access to the surveillance videos of the parking lot and we understood the way the thieves operated: the stalls all had a small space at the top of the door, so they used their phones to film the inside of the units to see what was inside. They filmed about ten of them before stopping at mine, which must have contained what they were looking for, namely my two motorbikes.

They then forced the door open, broke the locks of my bikes and started pushing them towards the exit of the parking lot, and that's when I caught them and interrupted the attempted robbery.

I didn't think I'd have to do this, but I think I'll install a ground anchor ring and tie my motorbikes to a fixed point in my storage unit. This will give me extra security, in addition to the Pegase Moto GPS tracker, in case of another attempted theft!

In any case, I’m very happy to have equipped myself with the Pegase Moto GPS tracker, because without it, I probably wouldn’t have a motorbike anymore.”

Comment choisir son traceur GPS ?

Les traceurs gps (parfois désignés par les termes « balises gps » ou « trackers ») sont des produits destinés à la géolocalisation et au suivi en temps réel des motos, scooters, buggy ou quads équipés de batteries 12V. Leur précision s’évalue en « nombre de positions envoyées par seconde ». À ce titre, Pégase est le plus précis du marché car il envoie jusqu’à 4 points par seconde. L’autonomie des traceurs GPS varie selon leur batterie interne et l’utilisation (ou non) de la batterie du véhicule. Pégase étant raccordé à la batterie du véhicule, il se recharge en permanence dès que le moteur tourne, ce qui lui confère une autonomie illimitée si vous roulez au minimum 2 fois dans le mois. La taille est aussi un élément important dans le choix d’un tracker gps. Pégase est plus petit qu’une carte de crédit, ce qui le classe dans les produits « mini gps » facilement dissimulables. Enfin le prix d’un traceur gps moto est à prendre en considération. Les traceurs aussi précis et perfectionnés que Pégase coutent en général 299€, mais attention : certain demandent en plus de payer un abonnement. Il faut alors calculer le coût du produit sur 3 ans pour savoir combien il va réellement vous coûter. Par exemple : un traceur à 299€ + 5€ mois revient à 479€ au bout de 3 ans. A l’inverse : Pégase est totalement sans abonnement et donc son prix ne bouge pas dans le temps. Même au bout de 3 ans il vous aura coûté 299€, soit 180€ de moins qu’un traceur gps avec abonnement.
