On Tuesday LoJack Corporation, the manufacturers of the eponymous vehicle tracking device, released their latest statistics on vehicle theft.
According to the company, last year LoJack helped law enforcement agencies recover 10,261 stolen vehicles. Once again the Honda Accord was the most stolen vehicle, while the most stolen domestic vehicle, eighth overall, was the Cadillac Escalade, down from fifth. For the most part imported Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans were the most frequently stolen vehicles.
Overall, the FBI Uniform Crime Report shows that the stolen vehicle recovery rate, 56.1 percent, is nearly at its lowest point in twenty years. In contrast vehicles equipped with LoJack have more than a 90 percent chance of being recovered.
By using radio frequency technology instead of GPS tracking, LoJack is able to locate cars even if they are hidden away in concrete buildings like garages, dense foliage, or steel shipping containers.
