Law Enforcement & Experts Recommend Ravelco: The Proven Anti-Theft Solution
Every week, law enforcement across the country investigates stolen trucks, vans, and work vehicles — many taken in under ten seconds. When police and fleet experts talk about what actually stops those thefts, one name keeps coming up: the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device — a mechanical system that physically prevents a vehicle from starting without the owner’s plug.
From the California Highway Patrol to fleet operators managing hundreds of vehicles, the message is the same — prevention beats recovery.
CHP Highlights Real-World Theft Prevention
This FOX40 News segment with the California Highway Patrol shows just how fast thieves work — and how Ravelco stops them cold.
In a FOX40 News report, CHP Officer Bryan Danielson explains that pre-2006 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks can be stolen in under ten seconds. Electronic defenses are easily bypassed — but Ravelco changes the game entirely.
Key takeaways from the CHP segment:
- A California driver’s truck survived a theft attempt thanks to Ravelco.
- CHP confirms thieves use relay attacks and OBD-II cloning to defeat factory systems.
- Fleet managers report zero vehicle losses since installing Ravelco.
“They’re driving off in less than 10 seconds most of the time — but with Ravelco, that all changes.”
— CHP Officer Bryan Danielson
Ravelco’s hidden wiring, steel conduit, and removable plug keep thieves from tracing or bypassing the system. Once installed, stealing a vehicle means working outside the cab — exposed, visible, and quickly deterred.
Why Law Enforcement Recommends Ravelco
Police officers see what works — and what doesn’t. They know alarms and trackers only react after a theft, while Ravelco stops thieves before the vehicle moves. That’s why agencies across the country recommend Ravelco as the first line of defense.
Why officers trust Ravelco:
- Physically disables the ignition circuit — no power, no start.
- Hidden wiring under the hood prevents tracing or bypassing.
- Works even if the battery or fuse box is cut.
- Zero defeats in nearly 50 years of installations.
