I’ve purchased lojack for my past 4 vehicles. Is lojack still popular is there other locators that are just as good?
Lojack and other tracking devices?

It's like $700. Seems like a total waste of money to me. That's what insurance is for. You can lower your comprehensive deductible to $0 for like $10-$15 more a month.
Good question. The S2K is stolen a lot around here. I'm tempted to Lojack or put some sort of two-way alarm on it or something.

I'd bae the decision on whether or not your car type is often stolen in your area.

I agree. I haven't heard of lojack in a few years. If it made sense, insurance companies would run their own locator services.

Look at it another way. Its better to prevent them from getting it rather than getting it back toasted.
Would you really want it back after they beat the snot out of it?

If your car has a chip key it is much harder to steal than they use to be. If its stolen now, its not for a job ride. But rather stolen by pros to be shipped overseas or quickly chopped.
Personally I leave a trunk monkey in my vehicle if I park in a high crime area.

Can they remove Lojack and move to another vehicle for you?
What is a trunk monkey?

People in my neck of the woods are still getting cars stolen - immobilizers aren't using "strong" encryption and there's code scanners for smart keys.
LoJack is more of a "beacon" than anything else - true tracking uses cellular augmented by GPS, and you can buy OBD-II dongles, but it's chaining something onto CAN...
