Why AutoWatch exists
When a vehicle is stolen, information often becomes scattered across messages, social posts and private groups. Vehicle descriptions may be incomplete, photographs get separated from the original post, and sightings may never make it back to the owner.
AutoWatch creates one structured public alert that can be shared, updated and connected to incoming sightings.
What we are building
AutoWatch is designed as a Jamaica-focused network where verified owners can prepare their vehicle records before they need them, activate a theft alert quickly, receive community sightings and end the lookout when the vehicle is recovered.
Our operating principles
- Accuracy: publish the vehicle information people need to recognize it.
- Privacy: keep ownership evidence and personal information out of public alerts.
- Safety: reporting is encouraged; pursuit and confrontation are not.
- Accountability: sensitive actions are tied to verified accounts, authorization and audit records.
- Accessibility: public sightings should be easy to submit without forcing a witness to create an account.
A community tool, not a vigilante network
AutoWatch is built to improve the movement of useful information. It is not designed to organize chases, expose private individuals or substitute public speculation for law-enforcement investigation.
Help the right people see the right information
AutoWatch works best when vehicle information is accurate, sightings are reported promptly, and everyone keeps safety first.
