Born from the Ashes: A Mission to Stop Car Theft Before It Starts

For years, I worked on the front lines of vehicle recovery often in remote and regional areas where the end of a dirt track would reveal what was left of someone’s pride and joy. We found hundreds of them: torched, gutted, or abandoned after being stolen for robberies or joyrides.

But the truth is, it’s not just out there in the bush. Today, vehicles are being stolen everywhere from suburban driveways, construction sites, city streets, shopping centres, and apartment car parks. No one is immune.

And no matter where it happens, the outcome is often the same:

By the time the GPS tracker pings a location, it’s already too late.

The vehicle is damaged beyond repair, stripped for parts, or burnt to the ground.

That’s when the idea was born.

What if we could stop the theft before the car even starts?

We discovered that thieves were exploiting a critical weakness the OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) port. It’s the gateway to your vehicle’s electronic systems. With it, they could clone keys, disable immobilisers, and start the car in minutes no broken glass, no alarms.

So we engineered OBD Shield PRO: a high-security, tamper-resistant lockout system that rewires and physically secures the OBD port. It doesn’t just alert you after the fact. It prevents the vehicle from being started in the first place blocking one of the most common methods of modern theft.

This device is tough, discreet, and built to endure the harshest conditions because it was made by people who’ve seen what’s left when nothing else worked.

We created it not just to react to theft but to stop it cold.
