To Protect Your Vehicle From Holiday Grinches, LoJack Offers Timely Theft Prevention Tips

Expert on Vehicle Theft Protection Available for Interviews

WESTWOOD, Mass., Dec. 5  -- 
  What:  As shoppers are out in droves this holiday season checking off
         items from their Christmas lists, thieves are often doing a little
         "shopping" of their own.  This time of year, vehicles are
         particularly vulnerable to theft, as thieves are on the lookout
         for "easy mark" cars to steal, especially those piled high with
         bags of newly purchased gifts.  To help consumers protect
         themselves from theft this time of year, LoJack Corporation
         (NASDAQ:LOJN)
    is issuing vehicle theft protection recommendations.
         This effort is part of the company's ongoing education program on
         vehicle theft prevention.

  Who:   Theft protection expert Patrick Clancy, Vice President of Law
         Enforcement for LoJack and retired law enforcement officer, is
         available for interviews and offers the following advice:  "Today's
         clever thieves are particularly vigilant for thefts of opportunity,
         particularly during the holiday season.  These thieves can not only
         drive away with your vehicle and newly purchased gifts, but your
         identity as well if you leave mail, bank statements or a
         purse/wallet in your vehicle.  Some important common sense tips are
         to hide valuables from view, take personal information out of
         vehicles, and park in well lit, highly trafficked areas."

  Tips:   What Can Consumers Do to Keep Their Vehicles Safe This Holiday
          Season?
          By combining common sense approaches, theft prevention devices and
          tracking/recovery systems, consumers can protect their vehicles
          from theft.
          The first important step: Use Common Sense Measures.  Don't leave
          valuables/purchases visible in your car.  Don't leave personal
          information in your vehicle like bank statements, mail, or
          wallet/purse that could leave you vulnerable to identity theft.
          Park in a well lit and high trafficked area.  Never leave keys in
          the car with the engine running (even to warm up the car or while
          you run a quick errand).  Don't hide a spare key in the vehicle.
          Close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
          The second step: Use Theft Prevention Products.  A thief is less
          inclined to steal your car if it has visible and audible warning
          devices like a wheel lock or alarm system.  Immobilizers-which
          include smart keys, kill switches and fuel cut-off devices-offer
          another means of protection.
          The third step: Use a Tracking and Recovery System.  Since thieves
          can typically disarm most theft prevention devices, recovery
          systems provide the peace of mind that you'll get your car back --
          often quickly -- in the event it is stolen.  The most effective
          systems are directly integrated into law enforcement, use Radio
          Frequency technology, which has proven to be optimal for
          recovering stolen cars and motorcycles, and are covert so they
          cannot be disengaged.
