Anyone put Lo-Jack on your HCH?

Re: Anyone put Lo-Jack on your HCH?
Different crimes for different criminals. Joyriders will steal sporty, high end cars. Usually they don't need to do much more than sit themselves down in an idling car in someone's driveway or the gas station and take off. A few have taken to carjacking. Escalades were popular targets in the early 2000s. Parts thieves will steal older model cars that have market value, but have been known to steal cars for parts that are scarce and valuable (fancy wheels in the 1980s and airbags in the 1990s). The latter tend to be the more proficient thieves b/c they do it for a living. The statistics seem to favor the older cars as targets.
The thing of it is, be aware, take care, and like Aquaman says, always swim with a buddy. Oh wait, that's not right...
