Forensic reconstruction of vehicle theft – Forensically piecing together the digital traces of a vehicle theft
The forensic reconstruction of a vehicle theft brings together various digital data sources – such as keyless entry, immobiliser, alarm system and telematics data – to form a coherent overall picture of how the crime unfolded.
This holistic approach, which takes into account several independent systems, significantly increases the robustness of the reconstructed processes.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We systematically collate a vehicle’s relevant digital data sources in order to reconstruct the sequence of events surrounding an attempted or actual theft in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a vehicle theft reconstruction is carried out
Once the relevant vehicle systems have been secured, access, alarm and movement data are extracted from several independent sources and collated to form a comprehensive chronological account of the sequence of events.
Why is the reconstruction of a vehicle theft relevant from a forensic perspective?
Combining several independent data sources provides a much more reliable overall picture than examining individual systems in isolation.
A thorough reconstruction can also provide important clues as to the method of theft used and the profiles of potential perpetrators.
