LoJack Car Security System

A recent article in the Seattle PI about the LoJack Security System starts out: "If you think you face difficult times, imagine you're a car thief. The LoJack security system has hurt the business model of auto theft, forcing thieves to go into new lines of work...Sold for $695, the LoJack is a radio transmitter that is hidden on a vehicle and then activated if the car is stolen. The transmitter then silently summons the police -- and it is ruining the economics of auto theft."  Entitled "Creative Thinking Foils Car Thieves," the article offers information on how LoJack works and why it's so effective (not only for the car owner who purchases and installs it, but for every car owner, because it's a hidden device that makes car thieves think twice about stealing in general) as well as thoughts on why hidden security systems and "creative" means for protecting your stuff could be smarter moves than devices like the Club or noisy car alarms in the long run.
