Default LoJack worth it?

So there's been alot of stolen cars turning up around my neighborhood and I was considering getting that LoJack system for extra security. A currently have a Viper alarm on my CRX, it has starter kill and some other cool features like power door locks and what not. I know that LoJack ---- doesn't prevent it from being stolen, but it sounds like a good investmen, what do you guys think?

so what about lo jack? you get to find your car after it's been stripped? i'd rather not find it if it's stolen, if you find it within 30 days, insurance doesn't pay for it, i mean they'll pay for the damage, but if you have engine swap and turbo etc. i don't think they'll be paying for that :P

Yeah I guess thats something to think about, but it all depends on how soon they can recover you car. Some get recovered within an hour, many times sooner, so they say :P

there are many other gps tracking systems than lojack. Some you can monitor from your home computer, with current whereabouts, speed, miles its gone, etc..

you could also install a mini spy cam and hook a pa system up to the speakers so you could watch him from your computer and talk ---- him while he's trying to steal your car, i think they'll prolly leave after that

I think that would provoke them to do more damage.

auto lock and recomte control... drive them back to your house! lol... of once you find its stolen hop in another car, follow them, auto lock the doors when you find them. Then have all your friends come up to where you have him trapped. Have fun.
