What is Stoolen?
Stoolen is a UK-based GPS tracking solution that protects your tools, vehicles, plant machinery and other valuable assets from theft. We offer real-time tracking devices and covert bait tools designed to catch criminals in the act and assist recovery.
How does the Stoolen bait device work?
Our bait tools look and feel like real power tools but contain hidden GPS tracking technology. The device silently sends a location signal, allowing you to track and report theft in real-time.
Can I use Stoolen devices on my van or car?
Yes. We offer dedicated vehicle trackers for vans, cars, motorhomes, and motorbikes. Once installed, they provide GPS location data 24/7 and can alert you if the vehicle is moved beyond a set location (geo-fencing).
Is the tracker visible or easily detected by thieves?
No. All Stoolen devices are professionally designed to be discreet, tamper-resistant, and hidden in plain sight, whether it’s in a tool or installed in a vehicle.
Do I need a subscription?
Yes. Our GPS tracking service requires an active subscription to access live location data, app support, and device management features. Various flexible plans are available.
What tools do the bait devices work with?
We cover all major UK brands including DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, Hikoki, Festool, Ryobi, Metabo, and more. Our devices are disguised within realistic shells to avoid suspicion.
How do I install the device in my vehicle?
We offer two options:
- Self-installation – Ideal for tech-savvy users. We provide fitting guides and video tutorials.
- Professional fitting – Our UK-wide installer network can come to you for quick, clean installations.
Is it legal to use a GPS tracker on my tools or vehicles?
Yes. It is legal to track your own property. For use on employee vehicles or shared assets, ensure you comply with GDPR and privacy regulations.
What happens if my item is stolen?
You’ll be able to track its location via the app or online dashboard. Share the live data with police to assist recovery and prosecution. Our support team can assist if needed.
What makes Stoolen different from other GPS trackers?
Unlike generic GPS tags, Stoolen devices are tailored for tradespeople and built into real-looking tools or vehicles. We focus on prevention, capture, and recovery, not just tracking.
Do you offer discounts for fleets or bulk orders?
Yes. We support trade customers, fleet managers, and security-conscious businesses with tailored packages and discounts. Contact us for a custom quote.
Can I move the tracker to another vehicle or tool later?
Yes. Most devices are transferable. We recommend contacting our support team for guidance when reinstalling or reactivating a device.
What if I need help with setup or support?
Our UK-based support team is available by email or via the contact form on our website.
How soon will I receive my device after ordering?
Orders are typically dispatched within 24 hours. Delivery is via tracked courier and usually takes 1–3 working days across the UK.
Business FAQ
Can I claim a tax deduction for Stoolen GPS trackers and bait tools?
Yes – if you’re a tradesperson, business owner, or self-employed in the UK, Stoolen tracking devices and bait tools are typically classed as allowable business expenses, meaning you may be able to claim them as a tax-deductible expense.
Here’s how it works:
1. Business use only
HMRC allows you to deduct the cost of tools, equipment, and security measures used wholly and exclusively for business purposes. If you’re using a Stoolen tracker to protect your work van, tools, plant machinery or motorbike used for work – the cost is fully claimable.
2. Capital allowances or full expense deduction
Depending on your accounting method, the purchase may qualify as either:
- A capital allowance (spreading cost over time – ideal for higher-value assets), or
- A full deduction in the year of purchase under the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) or simplified expenses if you’re a sole trader or using cash basis accounting.
3. Installation and subscriptions
You can also claim back:
- Installation costs (e.g. professional fitting of a tracker)
- Subscription fees for tracking services as an ongoing business expense
Let’s say you’re a self-employed carpenter or tradesperson and you purchase the following from Stoolen:
- 1x Bait Tool: £99.99
- 1x Vehicle Tracker: £59.99
- 2x Annual Subscriptions (one for each device): £13.99 x 2 = £27.98 Total: £187.96
Because these products are used wholly and exclusively for business purposes, the entire amount of £187.96 is typically tax-deductible as an allowable business expense.
If you’re operating as a sole trader or limited company, and you’re in the 20% income tax bracket, this could reduce your tax bill by up to £37.59.
