Car Theft Prevention

Traditional methods of car theft prevention fall short of truly protecting our automobiles. With more than a million vehicles stolen each year, auto theft is a serious and often overlooked problem. Most car owners feel a sense of security equipping their vehicles with a standard auto alarm system. Unfortunately, this is often not enough to prevent car theft. Professional car thieves can usually find ways to bypass auto alarms and other car theft prevention devices, leaving your car vulnerable to theft.

The problem with a traditional auto alarm is that once disabled, it is rendered completely useless. There is little you can do to protect your car or truck once a car theft prevention device is breached. In most cases, theft is not reported for hours or even days after the incident occurs. The task left for law enforcement becomes a difficult one, especially without any suspects, eyewitnesses or leads to investigate. While a car theft prevention device can deter criminals and make auto theft more difficult, it cannot always get in the way of well-trained thieves.

LoJack's Car Theft Recovery System

LoJack is effective when other car theft prevention systems fall short: after a theft occurs. When you report your car or truck stolen, police will immediately find a match between the automobile's VIN and its unique LoJack Code. The LoJack System's Small Radio Transceiver is automatically triggered and begins to emit an inaudible signal. This allows local police to begin tracking the location of the device and recovering your automobile.

LoJack is the only car theft prevention solution operated directly by law enforcement. Other tracking services follow the location of the stolen vehicle themselves and then report it to the police. With LoJack, trained police officers personally use LoJack Tracking Equipment to track and recover your car or truck.

The LoJack System is hidden where thieves can't possibly find it. Not even the car's owner knows where the device is located. LoJack's Car Theft Prevention Equipment is small enough to be hidden in as many as 20 places throughout your vehicle. Other services use a short, visible antenna that is easily seen and can be broken off by car thieves.
