Only a personal preference here, but I would much rather have the vehicle
equipped with devices to thwart theft than to spend the bucks on a LoJac.
Why? Glad you asked. My feelings are this; Once someone goes to the
trouble to bypass the anti-theft devices and breaks in to take my car and
then trashes it, I really do not want it found. Even if recovered and
"repaired" from that day forward the car will always have "diminished
value" to me. Thanks, but no thanks. True the ins co. will only reimburse
the wholesale value, but that's fine with me. I do not want a car back
that some thug has taken from me. Prosecute the SOB if you catch him, but
the car now belongs to the insurance company, not me.
