What city do you live in? I'm in SoCal so I think there's more cop cars with a Lojack reciever.

Maybe with having a Lojack the thief won't have as much time to beat up the car or strip it as opposed to not having one at all.

Im on the east coast.Not that stolen mv's are not a problem in my area,but I guess the powers that be find other things to source police funding and staffing on..Not that I agree with it..I juts dont see lojack as a deterent where I am, cause 90% of the stolen cars wind up on a container going to south america several hours after their stolen so the cars are rarely recovered at all..

LoJack is not worth it most theives if they can steal ur car are goin to just strip it and leave it... and its not worth finding... so just collect the insurance money and get another 1 IMO its not worth 800... btw if it is stolen and they cant find it LoJack pays u back ur 800bucks ... ****ty deal

I had it on my 04, but decided not to on my 05
because the manager at the dealer told me,
most people would not want their car recovered if the
car ever gets stolen.
It is quite true, I'd rather have my insurance pay me the $$

If you only knew how easy it is to steal a car. If a half-decent theif, not even a "good one", set's his sights on your car...he will get it one way or another.

i'd just take the insurance money...i wouldn't want my car back when its been stripped. I wouldn't even go see it if they recovered it... so sad just to think about it...

Save your money and get a "clear bra," type protection film installed instead. I can't guarantee you that your car will ever be stolen. However, I can guarantee you that your car will get paint chips on it's front end.

On second thought get neither . . . No one would ever want to steal an ugly paint chipped G.

Save your money. 1st off, the G isn't a highly desired stolen car. Reason being is what are they going to use the parts for? The usual car thief low-life isn't driving around a G and will need parts. They have civics and want GSR/Type R engines to throw in. 2nd, by the time you realize the car is gone, they would have taken anything they want anyway.

If you want to protect your car from theft, invest in physical locks...Trust me! I knew ppl who stole cars. I used to have a Twin turbo supra...MKIV...it was modded and had Volks. My mom lives in Brooklyn and I used to have my car there for weeks at a time, parked on the street. I had a steering wheel lock, brake lock, and a transmission lock. Car was NEVER touched. The only way around it would be a tow truck but it's hard to use one on a tight street like brooklyn blocks...not to mention it'd make one hell of a scene.
