Maybe you should change it to "Ever had a Cobra stolen", becuase right now it looks like he's asking if we all ever stole a Cobra  .

This is a scary subject......(as stated by computerworks and cashburn).............it only takes a few minutes for your treasure to be goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee   .
Mine, when finished, will have a battery cut off, LOJAK, maybe a fuel cut off, and me with a GLOCK protecting it, yet, in my mind, having 30 years in the law enforcement business, I know this will only discourage/stop the casual thief  but will do nothing for the career thief that really wants it.
Yes, it is a shame that we have to worry so much about this kind of thing, unfortunately it is a fact of life.

"Third, valet park (insist on being parked front and center), slip the valet a twenty and ask him to keep an eye on your car."

Lo Jack
Does anyone have any experience with the Lo Jack unit? I am interested in hearing the feedback as far as cost, subscription if needed, and how well it works!

Sal,
They cost about $1,000.00. You need to drive with the key gizmo within 2 feet of the unit. I have had 3 false alarms so far in about a year.
The biggest thing to remember is that they have to be moving for about fifteen minutes before the first alarm goes off. A smart would-be thief only moves for about 12 minutes at a time. He could be a long way off in a couple of 12 minute spurts.
Here's the sequence:
1-If the car has motion for fifteen minutes, you get a phone call from Lojack
2-You determine if the car is gone or not
3-You call the Lojack number to report it
4-The local police are informed
5-They try to find somebody who knows how to use the tracking equipment
6-The police try to find an officer interested in following the tracking.
If you detect a note of cynicism in all this, it's probably because of my experience with the Long Beach police. They showed very little interest in helping "some rich guy with a nice toy that got boosted" (yawn, now where was that fried chicken?).
You hear the stories from Lojack, now you have "the rest of the story".
