The Facts About Vehicle Theft
A vehicle theft occurs every 25.3 seconds in the United States, adding up to over one million vehicle thefts each year. Unfortunately there is only so much law enforcement can to do improve to prevent vehicle thefts from happening. Car owners must rely on vehicle theft security systems to ensure the safety of their vehicles.
Professional car thieves are well-versed in the vulnerabilities of vehicle theft prevention. They are often able to bypass even the most sophisticated alarm systems and vehicle theft deterrence products. This leaves car owners unable to protect their vehicle, and completely susceptible to vehicle theft.
LoJack Vehicle Theft Recovery System
The LoJack Vehicle 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 vehicle theft report with local police, a routine entry into the state police computer will match your vehicle's VIN number to its unique LoJack code. This automatically activates the LoJack Vehicle Theft Recovery System located on your vehicle.
Once triggered, Vehicle Theft Recovery System's radio transceiver emits an inaudible signal which can be followed by law enforcement authorities. The police then use tracking computers to locate and recover the stolen car.
Advantages of LoJack's Vehicle Theft Recovery System
- LoJack's vehicle theft recovery rate. A major problem for law enforcement is that vehicle thefts are often not reported for hours or even days after the crime occurs. Without any witnesses, suspects, or other leads to investigate, vehicle 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 90% vehicle theft recovery rate.
- LoJack's Vehicle Theft Recovery System is the only vehicle theft recovery system operated by local and state law enforcement agencies. LoJack actually supplies mobile tracking computers to local police. Competing vehicle theft recovery services track the vehicle themselves and then report the location to the police.
- The LoJack Vehicle Theft Recovery System works through concrete walls, ceilings, and other barriers. Other vehicle theft recovery services use a satellite system, which requires a direct line between the vehicle's satellite antenna and orbiting GPS satellites.
- The LoJack Vehicle Theft Recovery System is hidden where thieves can't even find it. Not even the car owner knows where the device is located. Other vehicle theft systems rely on a short, visible antenna which can easily be broken off by well-trained thieves.
