Myth: I don't want Lojack. It's too expensive.
Reality: LoJack will cost you pennies a day, less than a cup of coffee. It can be financed with your new vehicle. And if your vehicle is stolen, you will have the security in knowing that it will return with minimal damage. Myth: I don't need Lojack. That's what insurance is for and if it's stolen I don't want it back anyway!
Reality: The problem is that they do come back. In fact 68% of all stolen vehicles are recovered but in days and weeks, not hours. As a result, they have thousands of dollars worth of damage. Many times, even after extensive body work the car or truck is never the same and it's resale or trade value has been severely impacted. With Lojack, over 90% of all stolen vehicles are recovered with minimal damage within 24 hours. Now consider the cost of your insurance deductible, the real cost for rental vehicles beyond what insurance pays, the replacement cost of the vehicle versus what insurance will pay if it doesn't come back. Myth: I don't need Lojack. I live in a safe town and I keep my car in a garage.
Do you ever go to a shopping mall, a movie theater, a ball game, restaurant or a grocery store? If you do then you are in the favorite environments of the professional car thief. Most cars are stolen from these kinds of locations where the thief has many vehicles to choose from and where they know you're likely to be busy just long enough for them get what they're looking for: your car or truck. Myth: I don't need Lojack. I use: A steering wheel lock device. 2) A kill switch or 3) an alarm.
Reality: These types of devices will scare away an amateur thief or joy rider but professional car thieves steal 80% of all vehicles. Professional thieves are able to defeat devices like steering wheel lock devices, kill switches and alarms in a matter of seconds. You need LoJack to help police track and recover your car if stolen. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reccomends several layers of protection for your vehicle to provide "total security". Myth: I don't need Lojack. I'm leasing my car. If the car is stolen it's the leasing companies problem. After all, I have GAP insurance. It won't cost me a thing.
Reality: Let's say your leased vehicle is stolen and never recovered. You're right. With GAP insurance all obligations under the lease end and you can simply go back to your dealer and get a new car under a new lease. But what about that down payment, taxes on the money down, acquisition fee, first payment, security deposit, registration fees and documentation fees and more that you paid when you leased your car? You've got to pay them all over again! That could add up to thousands of dollars. By the way, your insurance company will wait 30 days to see if your car is recovered before they payoff on your claim. What will you be driving? If you have rental coverage will it cover the cost of a vehicle you're going to be willing to drive?
Maybe you're willing to take those gambles but are you really willing to gamble on what happens if the car is recovered? The reality is that they do come back. In fact 68% of all stolen vehicles are recovered and by the time they are they have thousands of dollars worth of damage. Many times, even after extensive body work the car or truck is never the same and you'll likely have to live with it until the end of the lease term. With Lojack, over 90% of all stolen vehicles are recovered with minimal damage within 24 hours. Myth: I don't need Lojack. I've never had a car stolen.
Reality: One out of every 147 registered vehicles are stolen in the United States. In 1998 alone over 1,400,000 cars were stolen, one evry 23 seconds.
