I'm sure that GPS tracking makes it pretty easy to recover these cars. They probably get them back pretty quickly.
- bonestamp2 11y agoI guess that makes them pretty good bait cars for the police too (if they're interested). If every cop sat on a zipcar while they're doing their paperwork, they'd probably catch somebody trying to steal one every once in a while.
- craftkiller 11y agoI'd imagine killing the engine could have potential liability issues if they cut it off at a dangerous time whereas GPS tracking lets them hand off that responsibility to the police.
