Tool theft in Wollongong.
Wollongong's mix of coastal residential builds, heavy industrial work around the Port and a busy trade economy makes for a steady backdrop of tool theft. TTT is the GPS tracker built to give Illawarra tradies the recovery layer the police actually need.
The pattern
Where Wollongong tradies see it most
Wollongong-specific tool theft figures are not separately published — state-wide NSW patterns apply. From Illawarra customers we hear about residential street utes, building sites in coastal growth pockets, and trailers behind industrial sheds.
The response
What Wollongong tradies are doing about it
Illawarra crews are pragmatic: locks and lighting at the property, GPS on the trailer and the high-value plant. TTT setup is the same as anywhere — tracker inside the asset, geofence the yard and home, live mode the moment the alert fires.
