The comment about GPS being easily beat is because GPS doesn't even work in parking garages. If a thief pulls your car into a garage, the GPS won't work. It must have a clear "view" of the sky. Lo-Jack works based off of FM signal I believe. This means in can be tracked within buildings, but only in select cities where Lo-Jack has towers set up. There is no perfect system. But combining a couple of these could really up your odds of keeping your car or at least getting it back.


The tracking unit will relay postions of the route that the car takes and hold the last reference. In the event that the car is moved into a garage you should still have an idea of where the car is but as I said before nothing is foolproof. All we can do is reduce the odds of theft and increase the odds of recovery. If a seasoned professional wants your Fiero, he will get it but do seasoned professional thieves really steal cars that are little value? The same energy can be used to steal a Corvette as in NYC where the theft rate of these cars is like 50%.
