The Truth About Car Alarms

Professional car thieves know the inner workings, and subsequently the vulnerabilities of most car alarms and security systems. With this knowledge, it is oftentimes possible to bypass even the most sophisticated car alarms, and steal the desired automobile. In these cases, the car alarm is rendered useless, leaving the car owner empty-handed.

Even the best car alarm systems fall short trying to consistently protect your vehicle from harm. At the same time there are limits to what law enforcement can do to keep our cars safe from unwanted intruders. LoJack provides a way to protect our cars and trucks, even in cases where car thieves are able to manipulate anti-theft devices and car alarm systems.

The advantages of LoJack over car alarm systems

    (LoJack is hidden where thieves can't even find it. The LoJack equipment is hidden within the vehicle. Not even the owner knows where it is.)
  • Often, a car alarm can do little past annoyance.
    (If disabled, a car alarm system is rendered useless. LoJack can be used to track down the location of the car or truck, leading to the arrest of the car thief, and recovery of the vehicle.
  • LoJack has a 90% recovery success rate.
  • LoJack is the only anti-theft system operated by local and state law enforcement agencies, something car alarm manufacturers can't promise.

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System continues to be effective where your car alarm system cannot; after a car theft takes place. The LoJack tracking system installed on your vehicle can be used by police to track its location, and recover it from the would-be thieves.

No other vehicle recovery unit or car alarm system is used by law enforcement agencies across the country and around the world to recover stolen vehicles. In fact, LoJack actually supplies law enforcement authorities with mobile tracking computers with which police use to recover the stolen cars.

When your car is reported stolen, a routine entry into the state computer system will match the vehicle's VIN number with its unique LoJack code. A small radio transceiver hidden on the car is automatically activated, emitting an inaudible signal. Local police can then follow the signal, and track down your vehicle.
