Just read a thread on the Pelican parts forum that Pelicans owner Wayne had his 914-6 stolen last night in Harbor City......close to LA. He hasn't posted a pic yet, if someone has one please post and be on the lookout.

There are various commercial locating/GPS services available.
My job as a Utilities Superintendent has me keeping track of heavy machinery valued at $150,000 to over 1 million dollars per machine in some cases. All of our Machinery is outfitted with a locating ping that has a independent power source. We also use a simular, only less expensive locating device on our Chop saws and other expensive small tools that tend to grow legs and disappear never to return. It only stands to reason if you have a item of value and want to make certain it cannot be Heisted away from your ownership that you would protect it any way you can. Stealing is a horrible thing, but failure to take the initiative to protect your "stuff" is a close second. |

I could could really use that sort of technology in a consumer or affordable commercial version. |

The manufacturer claims a 90% recovery rate. The name "LoJack" was coined to be the "antithesis of hijack", wherein "hijack" refers to the theft of a vehicle through force. |
