Car Theft

A car theft occurs every 25.5 seconds in the U.S., adding up to more than 1 million car thefts each year. Unfortunately, law enforcement can only do so much to prevent car thefts from happening. Car owners must rely on a vehicle security system to ensure the safety of their vehicles.

Professional car thieves are well-versed in the vulnerabilities of car theft prevention. They are often able to bypass even the most sophisticated alarm systems and car theft-deterrence products. This leaves car owners unable to protect their vehicle, and completely susceptible to car theft.

LoJack Car Theft Recovery System

The LoJack Car Theft Recovery System allows police to track the location of your stolen vehicle and recover it from would-be car thieves. When you file a car theft report with local police, a routine entry into the state police computer will match your vehicle's VIN to its unique LoJack Code. This automatically activates the LoJack Car Theft Recovery System located on your vehicle.

Once triggered, LoJack's Car Theft Recovery System's radio transceiver emits an inaudible signal that can be followed by law enforcement authorities. The police then use Tracking Computers to track, locate and recover the stolen car.

Advantages of LoJack's Car Theft Recovery System

• A major problem for law enforcement is that car thefts are often not reported for hours or even days after the crime occurs. Without any witnesses, suspects or other leads to investigate, car theft victims are left helpless in finding their stolen vehicle. By allowing police to locate the vehicle after is has been stolen, LoJack maintains a better than 90 percent car theft recovery rate.
• LoJack's Car Theft Recovery System is the only car theft recovery system operated by local and state law enforcement agencies. LoJack actually supplies Mobile Tracking Computers to local police. Competing car theft recovery services track the vehicle themselves and then report the location to the police so that they can recover them.
• The LoJack Car Theft Recovery System works through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers. Other car theft recovery services use a satellite system, which requires a direct line between the vehicle's satellite antenna and orbiting GPS satellites.
• The LoJack Car Theft Recovery System is hidden where thieves can't possibly find it. Not even the car owner knows where the device is located. Other vehicle theft recovery systems rely on a short, visible antenna that can easily be broken off by well-trained thieves.
