Auto Theft Prevention

Vehicle theft is the nation's no. 1 property crime, costing more than $7.6 billion each year. Our methods of auto theft prevention are simply not doing enough. Admittedly, law enforcement officials can only do so much to keep us safe from car theft. While many car owners rely on typical alarm-based auto theft prevention systems, they too can only go so far to scare off intruders. Professional thieves have spent their whole lives learning how to crack alarms and anti-theft devices. They can easily bypass even the most sophisticated auto theft prevention systems, leaving your vehicle susceptible to auto theft.

You can do little to protect your car or truck once an auto theft prevention device is breached. Often, stolen cars are not reported for hours or even days after the incident. It becomes extremely difficult for law enforcement to track down your vehicle, especially without any suspects, eyewitnesses or leads to investigate. While an auto theft prevention device can deter criminals and make auto theft more difficult, it cannot always stop well-trained thieves from getting what they want.

LoJack: Auto Theft Protection vs. Auto Theft Prevention

With more than 100,000 auto theft recoveries to date, the LoJack Vehicle Recovery System has proven time and time again to be the most effective system of protection against car thieves. Auto theft prevention devices can only deter intruders from an attempted heist. LoJack's Theft Recovery System allows police to track down the stolen vehicle, apprehend the suspects, recover the car and return it safely to you. Even the best auto theft prevention systems become inconsequential the second a car or truck is stolen.

LoJack steps in when auto theft prevention attempts fall short. Immediately after a LoJack-equipped vehicle is reported stolen, a routine entry into the police computer system results in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) database. The LoJack device is automatically activated, allowing police to follow the signal and track the location of your vehicle. By doing so, police can quickly track down and recover your LoJack-equipped automobile.

The Advantages of LoJack's Vehicle Recovery System

Admittedly, law enforcement has been ineffective when it come to auto theft prevention. With a better than 90 percent recovery rate, LoJack provides a successful solution to the problem. The only recovery system operated by law enforcement agencies across the country, LoJack supplies tracking computers that local police departments use to track and recover stolen vehicles.
