For the most part, if it's stolen, I don't want it back. However, if you put alot of money and effort into the car, maybe you do want it back. On the other hand, most good theives know exactly where the Lojack is installed.

The selling point is: They steal it, take it to a parking garage, leave it for a week, and if it's still there they make it disappear." Company suggests that most cars are recovered in 2 hours or less. Or not at all. Thanks for the quick response.

True - the pros are getting more and more tech savvy.
But pros are rare creatures compared to the garden-variety crackheads working for local chop shops. I knew a guy in college who had chosen a straight education over a career in Detroit fencing hot parts, he told me a little about that game. One risk point that influenced his decision to get out was how the standard 6-month life expectancy of a chop operation was dropping as "it's hard to find good help nowadays".

I had LoJack in my Lexus, it was great having the feeling of security. However be aware of the hiccups with this system. Twice I was told my car was stolen, once while I was driving it, the other when it was parked in my garage.

I did it. If the car is recovered in two hours like they say, damage will be (hopefully) minimized. Unlike some cars, I suspect it will be hard to replace a stolen RS, so getting one back fast seemed like the best alternative.
