Default Car found and stripped with Lojack

Guys as you know in my last thread my car was just stolen Saturday night.
I didn't tell everyone it had Lojackuntil they found it at the end of the thread. I just wanted to share my experience with everyone having Lojack. The first time they found the car the same night without a scratch just a busted alarm and columb. This time the found the car in about 36 hours but it was stripped to the bone. It works but some of these scum buckets are pretty clever and or lucky. I'm getting pics Friday mourning.

Sorry for your loss...

But lojack works only when you report it... And when you do the unit sends a signal out to patrol cars. Not all patrol cars are equipped with a reciever, the unit works by beeping, the closer you get the faster the beep.

So in his case, if his car was stolen at say 2am and he woke up at 8am that's 6 hours that has passed, given the theif more then enough time to either strip the vehicle or locate the lojack and busted the unit up...

If you all just went to the point in invest in the GPS system I have to offer you would still have a car, and you would not lose out on all the mods and upgrades you have done...

Now you also have to deal with insurance... Good luck

It was stolen in between 12:00 and 2:30, at 2:30 I reported it and had the lojack activated but they still got away with it. And they said they did find what was left with the lojack, I guess with no motor the backup battery still worked or somthing. I don't know. Like I said there clever and or lucky.

The two payments listed above are one-time and shall be the complete and final remedy available to you in the event of non-recovery of your covered vehicle under the LoJack Limited Guarantee Plus 5000 warranty.--------------------------------------------- CLAIM REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------------------------In order to receive your $2,500 cash payment under the LoJack Limited Guarantee Plus 5000 warranty it is your responsibility to notify police within 48 hours of theft, and provide to the Claims Administrator, within ninety (90) days of the report of the theft to the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction, the following items: (i) this warranty certificate; (ii) dated and time stamped proof of report of theft from the appropriate law enforcement agency; (iii) confirmation by such law enforcement agency that the vehicle was not recovered within thirty (30) days following the report; (iv) dated proof of purchase of the LoJack Unit which must identify the dealer from which the unit was purchased; (v) complete documentation from your physical damage insurance company substantiating the date of loss of your vehicle, the fact that the loss was directly due to theft, and the net loss amount and proof of payment; and (vi) the address to which your check should be sent. In order to claim your additional $2,500 payment towards the purchase of a Replacement Vehicle, you or the dealer from whom you purchased your covered vehicle must provide the Claims Administrator with proof of purchase of a Replacement Vehicle within 90 days of date of loss as defined above. Payment of this additional amount will be made in your behalf directly to the dealer from whichyou purchased your covered vehicle and your Replacement Vehicle or from a dealer within the same network.

Actually I read the fine print of my paperwork and read
1. They pay 595$ for the lojack within 2 years of install
2. $2,500 + Insurance settlement cannot exceed the value of the vehicle
3. Up to $2,500 at the dealer

Sorry man... but all those are a false sense of hope... Including club and autolock... They display the warranty and gaurantee all big to catch your eye, but the fine print puts a lot of limitations and burdern on your part...
