You undoubtedly know Coyote for its driving assistance solutions, based on collaboration between its users and on its patented algorithm which filters, processes, analyzes and confirms alerts in real time. Please note that the company also offers drivers a post-theft recovery service for vehicles, which is particularly effective.
For many road users, Coyote is the reference for being warned of the presence of a danger, a control zone (permanent or temporary, with or without radar), an accident, a slowdown or a traffic jam… Founded in 2005, the French company has since expanded its activities, notably with the acquisition of the company Traqueur in 2017. Thus, Coyote has since offered double security, that of the driver and that of his vehicle , offering four main services: driving assistance, post-flight recovery, geolocation for professionals (via its subsidiary Ubiwan) and data.

A car theft every 4 minutes in France (1)
According to the government report Analysis of insecurity and delinquency in 2022 (1) published by the Ministry of the Interior and Overseas, a vehicle is stolen on average every 4 minutes in France. Last year, a total of 133,800 vehicles were stolen from their owners, a figure up 9% compared to 2021.
Among the most stolen vehicle categories, we find SUVs at 67%. They are very difficult to track without an on-board geolocation solution, because thefts are generally committed by organized networks, who know how to effectively hide stolen vehicles. They often use boxes, containers, or underground parking lots to hide their loot.
According to the Coyote Secure 2023 Theft Observatory, victims and authorities are 10 times less likely to find a stolen vehicle after 48 hours. An Auto Plus survey estimates that stolen vehicles that are not equipped with a post-theft recovery solution are in more than 60% of cases never found.
More than half (52%) of the thefts declared in France are concentrated in three regions: Île-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azure and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
How does Coyote Secure work?
When you subscribe to the Coyote Secure service, an approved professional will install an autonomous tracker in your vehicle. It is hidden inside your car so it cannot be found by thieves.
Coyote Secure is much more than an anti-theft solution. Patented Tracker technology® allows stolen vehicles to be found even when they are hidden underground, in a white area or in containers. The autonomous tracker is even resistant to jamming.
This technology is based on the exploitation of IoT networks used for connected objects, such as Sigfox and LoRaWAN, which have the advantage of being energy efficient.
In addition to this powerful technology, Coyote has a dedicated team of detectives on alert 24/7, whose mission is to go to the field to find stolen vehicles, then recover them in partnership with law enforcement agencies across Europe.
In the event of theft, the procedure to follow to activate the Coyote Secure teams is quick and simple:
- You must contact the dedicated Coyote Secure service and send your complaint.
- The solution’s own detectives are alerted and immediately launch a search for your vehicle and travel to the location to precisely locate the stolen vehicle.
- The vehicle is recovered in collaboration with the police, then returned to you.
How to get Coyote Secure?
With Coyote Secure, you are almost guaranteed to find your stolen vehicle quickly and in good condition: 91% of stolen vehicles recovered within 48 hours (2) and 93% of vehicles recovered are returned to their owner with little or no damage. In the rare cases where the system does not allow recovery of the vehicle, the customer will then be reimbursed for the commissioning costs and the subscription. (3).
To benefit from Coyote Secure protection, you can go to a partner dealership, visit the official website www.moncoyote.com, go to a Coyote Store or go through one of the many partner insurers.
Examples of using Coyote Secure
To understand and realize the effectiveness of Coyote Secure, nothing beats examples for illustration.
Theft story: a minivan found in 25 hours
- The customer warns Coyote of the theft of his minivan following a scam, on D-Day at 4 p.m.
- On Day D+1 at 3 p.m., the vehicle was located by Coyote detectives on private property.
- 2 hours later, the car was recovered by the police. Only 25 hours will have passed between the report and the recovery of the vehicle.
History of theft: 2 vehicles found despite the jammers installed by the thieves
- An SUV is stolen by mouse jacking, a burglary theft technique consisting of neutralizing the vehicle’s computer security using a computer and certain specific software. At 9 a.m., Coyote detectives were notified of the theft.
- The tracer signal is quickly spotted, emanating from a container. From 11 a.m., the police organized surveillance.
- The same day at 8:15 p.m., two stolen SUVs were finally discovered: the thieves had claimed an additional victim. They had jammers installed, but that wasn’t enough to fool Coyote Secure’s system. In just over 11 hours, the owner was able to recover his vehicle.
