Before the app or your adviser, call the tracker provider. Their recovery room works the live signal while the trail is fresh - the most time-critical step.
The police report and Momentum follow once recovery is underway.
Notifying Momentum

Recovery and claim together
The provider's recovery room chases the car while Momentum handles the settlement. Two tracks on one theft.
Update both; a recovery within 48 hours can change a write-off into a repair, and Momentum needs to know at once.
The police case number
Momentum's file needs the SAPS case number before substantive handling. Report at the station, secure the number, keep the officer's details.
The police record anchors the claim.
Tracker status on the date of loss
Momentum checks the device's state on the day. A live, subscribed, monitored unit that reported the theft is standard; a lapsed or silent one draws scrutiny.
Keep the plan paid and the certificate filed so the tracker supports the claim.
