a friend had their car nicked in NYC this winter. He was able to tell the cops the car location from some Toyota find my car type thing. The cops said they saw nothing on the street so unless he could come and make the horn beep infront of a garage - and then get a warrant - there was nothing more to do. Here's the way it's done with Volvos (from the manual): If the vehicle has been stolen or otherwise used without permission, the vehicle's owner, police and Volvo Assistance can agree to track the vehicle. Note This applies even if the vehicle has been opened and stolen using the associated remote key. The following needs to be done: 1. Contact Volvo Assistance and say that you need help tracking the vehicle. Tracking begins. 2. File a police report. 3. Contact Volvo Assistance again and give them the police case number. 4. Volvo Assistance notifies the police of the vehicle's location.
