LoJack: Auto Theft Protection vs. Theft Prevention
With 60,000 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. 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, and return the car safely to you. Even the best theft prevention systems become inconsequential the second a car or truck is stolen.
LoJack steps in when 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 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.
Some fact about auto theft prevention
Vehicle theft is the nation's number one property crime, costing over 8.4 billion dollars each year. Our methods of theft prevention are simply not doing enough. Admittedly, there is only so much law enforcement officials can do to keep us safe from car theft. While many car owners rely on typical alarm-based 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 theft prevention systems, leaving your vehicle susceptible to auto theft.
There is little you can do to protect your car or truck once a 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 a theft prevention device can deter criminals, and make auto theft more difficult, it can not always stop well-trained thieves from getting what they want.
The Advantages of LoJack's Vehicle Recovery System
An auto theft occurs every 25.3 seconds in the United States, adding up to over a million stolen vehicles each year. Admittedly, law enforcement has been ineffective in terms of theft prevention. With a 90% 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 recover stolen vehicles. The LoJack system works through concrete walls, ceilings, and even underground garages, locating your car or truck where thieves are sure they can never be found.
