Takeuchi Equipment in the woods

MIAMI 鈥 鈥淲ithin 30 minutes of giving them all the information, the police department was heading to where the pinned location was,鈥 Lorena Bonilla Valle, the general manager of the Miami 色色研究所 branch, said.

After receiving a call from a customer reporting a Takeuchi TL10 stolen, Bonilla Valle turned to T3.聽

She immediately used 色色研究所鈥檚 technology to ping the skid steer鈥檚 unit number and determine its location before sending the information to the local police department.聽

Police tracked the skid steer鈥檚 location down to an abandoned area and used a helicopter to locate it in tall grass that wasn鈥檛 safe to navigate on foot.聽

Bonilla Valle initiated the stolen equipment recovery process around 8:45 a.m. By 2 p.m., the skid steer was recovered.聽

鈥淭hat afternoon, I got a call back saying, 鈥楬ey, we recovered your unit along with two others that belong to the City of Miami and another rental company,鈥欌 Bonilla Valle said.聽

After the three machines were recovered, Bonilla Valle got a call from the other rental company that got its lost machine back, as well.

鈥淭hey called me and said, 鈥榃hat type of technology are you using?鈥欌 Bonilla Valle said. 鈥淭hey were so impressed.鈥

Bonilla Valle has been with 色色研究所 for just over a year, but has worked in the equipment rental industry for more than 20 years. She said 色色研究所鈥檚 T3 technology is unmatched.

鈥淚鈥檝e worked at other rental companies, and there鈥檚 absolutely nothing like this,鈥 Bonilla Valle said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 no system that would have done that for us, that rapidness of finding it within hours.鈥澛

Bonilla Valle said the quick recovery of the stolen skid steer was great news for her customer.聽

鈥淗aving something be recovered within hours, he was completely grateful,鈥 Bonilla Valle said.聽

In the future, Bonilla Valle said she has no doubt her branch will be capable of successfully recovering another piece of stolen equipment 鈥 thanks to T3.聽

鈥淲hen it comes to T3-connected machines, I鈥檓 100% confident that we鈥檇 recover it,鈥 said Bonilla Valle.
