LoJack vs. Car Alarm Security Systems

  • LoJack has a 90% recovery success rate.
  • Most car alarm security measures can be bypassed by well-trained thieves.
    (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.)
  • LoJack is the only anti-theft or car alarm security product operated by local and state law enforcement agencies.
  • The effectiveness of car alarm security devices stops short at deterrence.
    (Once disabled, a car alarm security system ceases to be effective. LoJack allows police to follow criminals after the car has been stolen, leading to its recovery and subsequent arrests.)

Car Alarm Security Facts

Even the best in car alarm security falls short of truly keeping your vehicle safe. Similarly, law enforcement is only able to do so much to prevent auto theft. LoJack steps in to protect our cars and trucks, even in cases where car thieves are able to manipulate car alarm security devices and anti-theft systems.

A car is stolen every 25.3 seconds in the United States, adding up to over one million cases of auto theft each year. Vehicle theft has become the nation's #1 property crime, costing over 8.4 billion dollars a year. Many car owners rely on car alarm security systems to protect their vehicles from criminals. Unfortunately, even the most sophisticated car alarm security systems are not enough to prevent auto theft. Car thieves who are well-trained in exposing the vulnerabilities of auto security are often able to bypass these top-of-the-line car alarm security systems, and get away with the car or truck.

LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System

LoJack is the only car alarm security product or anti-theft device used directly by law enforcement agencies across the country and around the world to recover stolen vehicles. When you file a stolen car report, 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 track the signal, locate your vehicle, and return it to you.

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System continues to be effective where your car alarm security system cannot; after an auto 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.
