Vehicle Security

A lack of emphasis on vehicle security results in the theft of more than 1 million automobiles in the U.S. every year. To put it in perspective: An auto theft occurs every 25.5 seconds. The reality is, there is little we can do to stop car thieves. Even worse, most anti-theft alarm systems and vehicle security products are easily breached by knowledgeable car thieves. Once bypassed, these devices leave the car owner helpless. Without witnesses, suspects or leads to investigate, there is little law enforcement can do.

LoJack allows police to track the location of your vehicle and recover it before it's too late. When the stolen car report is filed, a routine entry into the state computer database will automatically match the VIN to its unique LoJack Code. The Vehicle security Tracking System hidden in the car or truck is instantly activated and begins to emit an inaudible signal. Police can then track the signal to your car's location and recover the vehicle.

LoJack: The Forefront of Vehicle Security

LoJack-equipped vehicles are recovered in over 90 percent of reported thefts. Where car thieves can often find ways to disable other vehicle security devices, LoJack Equipment is hidden within the vehicle (not even the owner knows where it is). Smaller than other vehicle security equipment, 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.

The NICB's Layered Vehicle Security Plan

A well-equipped vehicle security system can go a long way to ensuring the safety of your car or truck. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, four layers of protection make up a well-thought out vehicle security plan.

Layer 1: Taking simple precautions such as locking doors, parking in well-lit areas and closing windows completely.

Layer 2: Vehicle security alarm systems and anti-theft devices. These include audible alarms, steering wheel locks and theft deterrent decals.

Layer 3: A vehicle immobilizer system that requires smart keys and uses kill switches to prevent theft.

Layer 4: The final layer of vehicle security is a tracking device. According to the NICB, "the final layer is a tracking system that emits a signal to the police or a monitoring station when the vehicle is stolen. Tracking devices are very effective in helping authorities recover stolen vehicles."

The LoJack Tracking System is an integral component of any vehicle 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 vehicle. LoJack is the only vehicle security product that is fully integrated with both state and local law enforcement agencies.
