After Chris's 914 was taken, I called my Lojack rep for a service check. It still worked after being installed in 2002. The back-up battery was 76% and good for another 3 years.
The problem with the original LoJack is you have to call the police or LoJack after you realize the car is gone--a lot of valuable time can be lost. The newer LoJack with Early Warning solves the problem. The system has a motion sensor mounted in the car. If the car moves or is started by a person without a coded key-pass the LoJack sends a signal to to your cell or email. If the user has the coded key-pass, it stays in sleep mode. TThe entire package with Early Warning costs about $1.0K GPS units look like newer technological applications with greater potential, but monthly costs too. Please chime in on Lojack or GPS. |

My home insurance pays the "today" price of what ever goes missing or burns up ect. I wonder if they have that for antique cars? My insurance value is hier than what I've invested in it. If the car gets extras, I just change insurance company and insure it for even more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
