Auto Security

A car is stolen every 25.5 seconds in the U.S., adding up to more than 1 million cases of auto theft each year. Auto theft has become the nation's no.1 property crime, costing more than $7.6 billion a year. Many car owners rely on auto security systems to protect their vehicles from criminals. Unfortunately, even the most sophisticated auto security systems are not enough to prevent auto theft. Car thieves who are well-trained in exposing the vulnerabilities of auto security are often able to bypass a top-of-the-line auto security system and get away with the car or truck.

Even the best auto security products are limited in the protection they provide our automobiles. Similarly, law enforcement is only able to do so much to prevent auto theft. LoJack steps in to protect our cars and trucks, even in cases where car thieves are able to manipulate auto security devices and anti-theft systems.

LoJack: Auto Security Tracking System

The LoJack tracking system is an integral component of any auto security plan. LoJack Tracking is the most formidable line of defense against auto theft. Once the LoJack Tracking System is put into action, local police can track the location of your car or truck, and recover the stolen automobile. LoJack is the only auto security device operated directly by law enforcement.

LoJack is used to track and recover a stolen automobile and return it to you quickly and safely. When a stolen car report is filed, local law enforcement computer systems immediately activate LoJack's Auto Security Device hidden in your vehicle. Local police then track the signal emitted by the auto security device and follow it to the location of your stolen truck or car to recover your vehicle there.

The LoJack Auto Security Tracking Equipment is small enough to be hidden in as many as 20 different places on your car or truck. While professional car thieves are often able to cash in on the vulnerabilities of competing auto security devices, the LoJack System is hidden where thieves can't find it (not even the car's owner knows where it is).

The LoJack System works through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers to locate LoJack-equipped vehicles. Other auto security tracking services use a satellite system, requiring an unobstructed line of sight between the vehicle's satellite antenna and orbiting Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

LoJack: The Forefront of Auto Security

LoJack-equipped vehicles are recovered in more than 90 percent of reported thefts. Where car thieves can often find ways to disable other auto security products, LoJack equipment is hidden within the vehicle (not even the owner knows where it is). Smaller than other auto security devices, LoJack goes unnoticed by intruders. Thieves will not know they have stolen a LoJack-equipped vehicle until law enforcement officials track it down, recover the vehicle and make subsequent arrests.
