Your car was stolen. We'll tell you where to look.
SearchMap uses theft-behaviour data from across Europe to generate a personalized search map for your stolen vehicle — with priority zones, a 7-day schedule, and expert guidance.
How SearchMap works
- 1
You report your stolen vehicle with the theft location and time.
- 2
We analyze the area and identify high-priority search zones: industrial areas, train stations, P+R lots, farms and quiet streets near you.
- 3
You receive a personalized search map with zones ranked by probability, a day-by-day schedule, and a guide on what signs to look for.
The science behind SearchMap
- Cooling-off period: thieves often leave stolen cars within 5–10 km for 2–7 days to check for GPS trackers before moving them.
- The first 7 days are the golden window for recovery.
- Industrial zones and station car parks are among the most common hiding spots across Europe.
- Most victims don't know where to look. SearchMap changes that.
What to look for
- A covered or tarpaulin-wrapped vehicle
- Missing licence plates (one or both)
- A dusty vehicle that hasn't moved recently
- A vehicle parked at the very end of a parking row
- …and more signs included with Premium
Stay safe
Never confront anyone. If you find your vehicle or see something suspicious, call 112 immediately, note the location and leave the area. Your safety matters more than any car.
