Why Every Keyless Car Needs CarLock: Stolen Nissan Juke Nismo RS Recovered in Hours

Car theft is something no driver ever wants to experience—but for Scarlett, Nissan Juke Nismo RS owner, a quick response and real-time tracking from CarLock made all the difference.

It was a Saturday morning like any other. At around 7 AM, Scarlett woke up and casually checked their phone. As someone who’s used to seeing the standard CarLock notification “Security Disabled (Scheduler)” by the Scheduler SmartLock feature, she immediately noticed something was off. Alongside the usual alert was something far more serious. She shared, “I also saw ‘engine started’ and ‘car moved’ notifications.”

Realizing her car had been stolen in the early hours of the morning, Scarlett quickly woke her partner and showed him the live location on the CarLock map that was 20 to 30 minutes away from where it had been parked the night before. Scarlett explained her reaction: ”Whilst he got him self out of bed and dressed, i phoned the police who advised they would despatch someone to the location, as shown in the CarLock app.”

Without hesitation, Scarlett opened the CarLock app, clicked “Navigate to the car,” and the couple set off in her partner’s car. The route led them straight to where the Juke had been abandoned. The police met them at the scene. After a quick inspection, it was confirmed that nothing had been stolen and there was no serious damage—just a curbed wheel. The owner was cleared to drive the car home.

Scarlett was relieved: The car was taken around 3 AM. By 8 AM, it was back in my driveway.

Later that day, she learned another Juke was stolen just a few doors down from her house. Sadly, that one hasn’t been recovered. She mentioned: ”If I didn’t have CarLock, that could’ve been me.”

She initially purchased CarLock after discovering that keyless cars like the Juke Nismo RS had become popular targets for thieves. “I was concerned I would lose my car for good and not be able to get to work and take my children to school,” she explained. She credits CarLock with saving her from losing thousands of pounds, as well as the emotional stress of dealing with insurance claims, temporary transport, and the struggle of replacing a stolen car.

Since the incident, Scarlett has become a vocal advocate for the device. “I’ve recommended CarLock to family, friends, and colleagues. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a tracker that’s easy to install and simple to use.”

CarLock didn’t just notify Scarlett of suspicious activity—it gave her the tools to act fast, and ultimately, it brought her car home.

Immediate awareness through your phone is crucial, as those first few moments may be your only chance to get your vehicle back. That’s why it’s important to set CarLock notifications to play loudly—even if your phone is on silent—so you can respond without delay if something like this ever happens.
