So what happens if Lojack keeps getting false moves on your bike?

I've been all over my bike, and I can't find it. I live about an hour north of the Mexican border. I doubt they would recover my bike before it made it over the border. It was probably a waste of money on my part. Now I wish it would get stolen , so I could get a 2010.

They do not tell you where the lojack is installed on your bike...even if you are the owner....

this way, if the owner knows...he can disconnect it and have his OWN bike stolen......

if you watch a car get lojack installed..there usually is a big curtain around the car so no one but the installer know where it is located....

I live in a major city NEW YORK.....my lojack early warning works very well!!

Most time within 10 minutes.....a few times a half hr....but very happy with it..


I bought my bike used....it came with it installed....had to pay $50 for a lojack tech to make sure it is working.....or else you can not register it in your name....

I have lojack and a harley security system on the bike so if it is stolen....more power to em....

Going to Sturgis? Don't plan on your LoJack working in that hotbed of bike thefts....

And would you like to share how you would do this?

the Lo-Jack Early Warning Recovery System enables the police to track and recover your bike even sooner.
When Lo-jack first came out (many years ago) they gave us one receiver and some training materials. At that time the transmitted was not operational until the owner reported the vehicle stolen. Obviously that has changed somewhat.

When the first receiver stopped working, Lo-jack wanted a few hundred per car to install additional receivers. We told them to shove it. we weren't paying to have them install something only they benefited from...so no Lo-jack. We were right outside NYC and got so many false hits that after a while most were ignored. the On-Star type of system that would fax a map to us of the exact location when the anti-theft system was activated was much more useful to the car's owner.

In theory the cell phone would work but getting location information from the cell phone provider is not easy and requires much paperwork. It isn't TV where the guy logs on to his laptop and pulls down info from every government agency in the world.

Just like all the commercials on TV lately where a burglar kicks in a door on an unsuspecting housewife
I love that one. Normal time is probably closer to ten minutes. We ran probably 20 or more alarms on a normal night. If the subscriber could actually be located we still got the call ten to fifteen minutes after activation. In a commercial alarm a lot of merchandise can be move in 15 minutes.
