have purchased through them.

2. How will I know if my vehicle is recovered?
After you provide the SiriusXM Guardian™
Customer Care agent with the stolen vehicle
report, the agent will work together with law
enforcement to try to locate your vehicle. If
your vehicle is recovered, you will be
contacted by law enforcement.

insurance rates? Some insurance providers
offer lower rates on vehicles equipped with
systems that can deter auto theft. When
