LoJack for Classics

[CarFreak]

Noticed this on the WSATI Classics website tonight; good to see when a stolen 'classic' is recovered.

I had mentioned about LoJack for Classics the other day in a different thread (and the great $295 discount price for Hagerty/HVA members).

No, I don't have stock in the company...

Can you say 'happy owner'?

Reporting Agency and their Case #: LAPD Northeast DR # 121107890

Additional Information: On 3-17-2012, the owner of a 1965 Ford Mustang Classic went for a cruise, came home, and parked his Classic Mustang in front of his home. On Sunday afternoon, 3-18-2012, he discovered that someone had stolen his car. He immediately reported the theft of his Mustang to LAPD Northeast Division. Within 50 minutes after entry into the California stolen system/NCIC, officers from LAPD Wilshire Division had picked up the silent LoJack signal, tracked and located the vehicle. The only damage noted, according to the victim, was a “punched ignition.” The victim said he purchased LoJack when he first obtained the Mustang in 1999, and was thrilled that it still worked after 13 years since it was installed.

Ooops - wrong thread. But never the less, if the cars had Lojack probably would have been found sooner.
