    I wonder how successful LoJack is, percentagewise. Watching some of the cop shows, like that one in NJ where the wolfpack rides around looking for stolen cars, they have had LoJack signals pop up and they ride around trying to zero in on the car and sometimes think it might be a signal skip from somewhere in NY. I think I only saw one show where they ever found the signal, and it was on a piece of construction equipment that had LoJack installed on it.

    I guess they are good, but just wonder how good. Are there any systems we can install ourselves or do you have to go to one of their dealers for install?

    Their optimistic advertising which I just read says 90%. My guess, probably closer to 60-75%, real lifehttp://www.lojack.com/ Happy reading, click 'Automotive' !!

    It would appear that LoJack wouldn't have done much good since the state of Missouri is not on their cover list
