Anti-Theft Device

The automotive security industry is flooded with devices that offer various methods of theft prevention. These products hope to deter thieves from successful auto theft. Discouragingly, even the top-of-the-line alarm systems and anti-theft devices are vulnerable in the hands of well-trained car thieves. Intruders are often able to bypass these products and get away without a trace.

Many cars are not reported stolen for hours or even days after the incident occurs. With no witnesses, suspects or leads to investigate, you have little hope of finding your automobile. In these cases, the anti-theft device is rendered useless. LoJack steps in where a car alarm security system and an anti-theft device fail – after a theft occurs.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System is the only tracking and recovery system directly operated by law enforcement. When your car is reported stolen, a routine entry into the state crime database will find a match between your VIN and its unique LoJack Code. The LoJack Equipment located in your car is automatically triggered and begins to emit an inaudible signal. Police can then track the signal to your automobile's location, recover your stolen car and seize it from the would-be thieves.

The LoJack System is hidden on your vehicle where thieves can't find it. Anti-theft devices used by other tracking services rely on a short, visible antenna that car thieves can easily break. The LoJack Equipment is small enough to be hidden in any of 20 places on your vehicle. Not even the owner knows its location.

LoJack can find your car anywhere. The LoJack Signal can be traced through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers to locate your vehicle. Other systems use an anti-theft device that works off a satellite system, which requires an unobstructed line of sight between the antenna and orbiting Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

LoJack: Working with Police to Recover Your Vehicle

LoJack is the only Vehicle Tracking System or anti-theft device operated by state and local law enforcement agencies. LoJack supplies the mobile tracking computers that police departments use in recovering LoJack-equipped vehicles. Other services track the location of the car or truck themselves and then report its location to police. By the time police arrive at the reported location, it may be too late.

The LoJack system can protect your vehicle at all times. All you need to do is report the car or truck stolen, and police begin to track it down and recover it.
