Why the Suzuki Jimny Is Targeted in South Africa

Get my quotesScarcity drives the theft
Few small cars hold value like a Jimny, because there are never enough to go round - so a clean one is easy and lucrative to resell, and is wanted whole above all. Its cult following keeps its distinctive parts in demand as a fallback, and it is small enough to be lifted bodily into a van.
How it is taken
A keyless little 4x4 lifted quietly - or simply hoisted away - with the recovery detail on the tracking guide.
What protects it
A monitored control room reacting to unexpected movement, with a radio-frequency layer given how sought-after it is, recovers a Jimny; the app cannot.
