Steve, we had an incident several years ago in western Nova Scotia involving a stolen GM pickup. The RCMP contacted Onstar for a vehicle location, which they provided. Onstar was able to disable the truck, after police had it in sight to ensure the slowing down and stopping would not endanger public.
