We’re very happy this story had a good ending. 🔒 One of our customers from Athens, Greece recently shared their experience with us, and we wanted to post it exactly as they told it:
“On January 21, 2026, my car was stolen right outside my house. It was a night with severe storms and flooding in my area. My car is a Toyota Yaris Cross, a vehicle that is very popular among thieves. The car only had the basic factory alarm system - just a siren sound in case of intrusion. With such bad weather, I never heard it.
The thieves must have entered the car as if they had the key. There were no signs of forced entry. Maybe they cloned or intercepted my key signal.
Inside the car, I had a hidden Monimoto 7 tracker. When I woke up in the morning, I saw a notification from the app saying that the car had moved. At first, I ignored it because I thought something like this could never happen to me. But when I went outside, my car was gone.
I opened the Toyota app and saw that the last location was only two blocks away from my home. I went there with a friend, but of course the car was not there anymore. That’s where the thieves had stopped and removed the Toyota tracking system.
They had also caused several damages inside the car because they were probably searching for another tracker.
Then I checked the Monimoto app again and saw that the car was parked at an address very far away from me - with an exact location. I went there with a friend and found the car exactly where the tracker said it would be. Locked and abandoned.
The police, whom I had already contacted, were waiting there to verify that I was the owner.
My insurance repaired the damages, and I was just happy that the tracker saved my car. Now I’m thinking about installing another one. I’m considering the Monimoto 9. Of course, I read everywhere that thieves now use jammers against trackers and sometimes manage to find or confuse them. I was lucky. I didn’t even hear the tracker notification because I was asleep. The car was stolen at 2:30 AM, and I recovered it at 9:30 AM. They had parked it there temporarily to see if anyone would come looking for it.
After my theft, many of my friends heard my story and went out and bought the Monimoto 9.”
Thank you Zisimos for sharing your story with us, and most importantly, we’re glad your car made it back home. 😎
