• The device never needs recharging.
• You don’t pay for idle cell phones; the Lojack cost is a one-time expense.
• The transmitter is well-hidden, so the thief never really knows the car is so equipped.
• Many insurance companies give you a discount on your premiums where it pays for itself.

I have Lojack in both my cars. The one for our IS cost $850. With our getting a $400 per year discount on insurance (USAA), it will pay for itself in about two years. And I don’t have to risk my life chasing after a car thief.

In fact the newer system I have on my G37 has a motion sensor (alerted if a little thing I attach to my fob is not present), so if the car is moved I will be called even though I don’t know the car has been stolen. If they confirm it wasn’t me they call the cops. So as soon as the car is even slightly moved the cops are on their way after a call to me. There would be no time for even a professional thief to find and disarm the two devices.
