Auto Theft Prevention
Vehicle theft is the nation's number one property crime, costing over 8.4 billion dollars each year. Our methods of auto 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 auto 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 auto theft prevention systems, leaving your vehicle susceptible to auto theft.
There is little you can do to protect your car or truck once an auto 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 an auto 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.
LoJack: Theft Protection vs. Auto Theft Prevention
LoJack provides a theft protection solution that has proven effective and successful time and time again. 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 in auto theft prevention systems give no hope of recovering a stolen car or truck once a theft occurs.
The LoJack system provides a solution to the shortcomings of typical auto theft prevention. 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.
The Advantages of LoJack's Theft Protection System
An auto theft occurs every 25.3 seconds in the United States, adding up to over a million stolen vehicles each year. Typical auto theft prevention devices are not able to do enough to stop car thieves. Even worse, law enforcement has been ineffective in terms of auto theft prevention. Only a dismal 14% of car thefts are cleared by arrests each year. 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.
