A car is stolen roughly every 32 seconds in the United States. Nearly 1,000,000 vehicles were stolen last year. Your car is definitely at risk of being stolen. Read preventing car theft for some tips on how to protect your car from being taken. If you live in an area with high crime or if you drive a car that is frequently stolen (read Florida’s most stolen cars) then maybe you need more than just an alarm to protect your car. You might consider a LoJack for protection.
The patented LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System includes a radio frequency transceiver hidden in your car. Each LoJack has a special code that is associated with your car’s VIN (vehicle identification number). If your car is stolen and reported to the authorities, the state police crime computer checks the LoJack System’s unique code against the state VIN database. This will activate the LoJack device in your car, which emits an inaudible signal. Police cars, planes and helicopters are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers and are always listening for a LoJack signal. If heard they will track down the car and recover it.
Over 250,000 cars have been recovered since LoJack was released, 100,000 of them were recovered in the United States. So far, LoJack is responsible for helping authorities in recovering more than $5 billion in stolen assets. You insurance carrier might give you a discount if you have a LoJack on your car. Be sure to ask.

I wonder if this is better or Onstar is better. I saw an ad where they stop a stolen vehicle on the highway when it was reported.
Isn’t it better not to have your car stolen in the first place? I own a steering wheel lock, and I use it everytime I’m in places I know aare trouble.
