Theft Prevention

Vehicle theft is the nation's no. 1 property crime, costing more than $7.6 billion each year. Our methods of auto theft prevention are simply not doing enough. Admittedly, law enforcement officials can only do so much to keep us safe from car theft. While many car owners rely on typical alarm-based 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 theft prevention systems, leaving your vehicle susceptible to auto theft.

You can do little to protect your car or truck once a 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 and recover your vehicle, especially without any suspects, eyewitnesses, or leads to investigate. While a 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. 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 theft prevention systems give no hope of recovering a stolen car or truck once a theft occurs.

The LoJack System solves the shortcomings of typical 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 and recover your LoJack-equipped automobile.

The Advantages of LoJack's Theft Protection System

An auto theft occurs every 25.5 seconds in the U.S., adding up to more than a million stolen vehicles each year. Typical theft prevention devices can't do enough to stop car thieves. Even worse, law enforcement has been ineffective in auto theft prevention. Only a dismal 13 percent of car thefts are cleared by arrests each year. With a better than 90 percent 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.
