Additionally, the company noted that the oldest LoJack system-equipped vehicle that was stolen and recovered last year was a 1963 Cadillac Convertible. The most expensive LoJack-equipped vehicle stolen and recovered was a 2011 Porsche Panamera. It’s valued at $103,400.

“Today’s thieves are highly skilled professionals, and LoJack’s data reveals that stolen cars, trucks and SUVs equipped with the LoJack system were recovered 90-plus percent of the time in 2013,” said Patrick Clancy, vice president of law enforcement for LoJack Corp. “The latest statistics from the FBI indicate that nearly half of vehicles stolen are not returned to the rightful owners, resulting in millions of dollars in assets lost by vehicle owners. The LoJack system has proven to be a highly effective tool to combat vehicle theft.”
