Motor Vehicle Theft

Motor vehicle theft is the nation's no. 1 property crime, costing U.S. citizens over $7.6 billion each year. While alarm systems and anti-theft devices become more and more sophisticated, so do methods of disarming them. Professional car thieves are well-trained in methods of bypassing these systems and getting away with our cars and trucks.

As a leader in motor vehicle theft recovery, LoJack is able to provide a layer of protection when our automobiles need it most, after a theft occurs. While well-trained thieves can render other methods of theft prevention useless, LoJack never stops working to protect your vehicle.

When you file a motor vehicle theft report, a standard check in the state crime database will immediately trigger the LoJack system hidden deep within your vehicle. Police are then able to follow the inaudible signal released by LoJack's small Radio Transceiver, and track and recover your stolen truck or car.

In most cases, a typical motor vehicle theft leaves police with no witnesses or leads to look into, and little information to help them in searching for your stolen automobile. With LoJack, police are able to track the device's Signal directly to your car, recover the vehicle, and arrest thieves who would otherwise have gotten away.

The NICB's Motor Vehicle Theft Security Plan

The National Insurance Crime Bureau outlines a complete and comprehensive plan for effective protection against auto theft. This layered approach to motor vehicle theft prevention consists of four levels:

1. Simply locking doors, parking in well-lit areas and completely closing all of your car windows.
2. Equipping your vehicle with a visible auto alarm system to deter attempted theft.
3. Installing a vehicle immobilizer system of kill switches and ignition disablers.
4. The fourth and final layer of motor vehicle theft protection is a vehicle tracking system that releases a signal to police when a stolen car report is filed.
