Report types

Within the NP Tracker system, we categorize and document various types of reports associated with a specific vehicle. These reports are compiled from the information we receive through the platforms we actively monitor. Our diligent bots capture and process these reports, ensuring that any sensitive or personal data is carefully removed to protect the privacy of individuals involved.

These reports encompass a wide range of valuable information pertaining to the vehicle in question. We strive to include all relevant details that can aid in the identification, verification, and tracking of the vehicle's activities. By aggregating these reports, we aim to provide our users with a comprehensive overview of the vehicle's history and any notable incidents associated with it.

Our commitment to privacy is of utmost importance. Therefore, we employ rigorous measures to sanitize the lookout reports, ensuring that no personally identifiable information is disclosed. This approach allows us to provide reliable and insightful information while safeguarding the privacy rights of individuals involved in the reports.

By utilizing the NP Tracker system, you gain access to a wealth of invaluable information derived from a multitude of sources. We continually update and expand our database to ensure the inclusion of the latest reports and insights related to vehicles.

Lookout report


No lookout report


The NP Tracker report provides a list of lookouts for a specific vehicle. These lookouts are generated based on community inputs and are posted to monitored groups. This report serves as a helpful tool to identify trends related to a specific registration number.

For example, if a vehicle is involved in a break-in in Kempton Park and a lookout is posted on a patroller group in Kempton Park, if the same vehicle is spotted and tested by a member in Centurion three weeks later, they will receive the original lookout to gain a better understanding of the vehicle's history.

If there are no registered records or lookouts for a specific vehicle, the system will respond with a message stating "Numberplate NOT found." Users have the option to register a lookout with as much information as possible to assist other members if the vehicle is tested by someone else.

Please note that in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces, vehicle number plates are reused. This may result in incorrect vehicle details for these vehicles, as the previously registered vehicle details may still be on record.
