Motorcycles stolen four times, recovered every time with LoJack

Regardless of
any dangers inherent with riding, a biker's biggest fear is
having their motorcycle stolen.
One of the
most high-tech methods of hanging onto your favorite ride
has been the
LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System.
Certainly most bikers would agree getting back a stolen motorcycle,
intact and undamaged just once would more than make up for
any costs. Imagine the value of a system that recovers a
bike that's stolen a total of four times.
LoJack have
released success stories that are about just that.
"These ..
stories involving multiple recoveries demonstrate why LoJack
is the leader in recovering valuable mobile assets," said
Ronald V. Waters, President and Chief Operating Officer,
LoJack Corporation. "Time after time, our System delivers on
its promise of enabling law enforcement to find and recover
stolen vehicles in a timely fashion. Our proven Radio
Frequency technology and long-standing direct integration
with the police are the backbones of our System and the key
drivers of our 90 percent recovery rate."
Unlike
GPS-based products, LoJack's Radio Frequency technology
penetrates buildings, garages, dense foliage and containers.
Another key LoJack differentiator is its Police Tracking
Computers (PTCs), which are directly installed within patrol
vehicles, helicopters and aircraft. The PTCs receive signals
from the activated LoJack transmitter, which communicates
the vehicle's whereabouts directly to police, ultimately
enabling law enforcement to find and recover the stolen
asset.
NYC
Surgeon's Motorcycle Stolen and Recovered Four Times in One
Year
"I have a lot more peace of mind knowing that my bike is
constantly protected. Even my wife said, 'don't worry about
it, LoJack will get it back for you like they always do.'" -
NYC Surgeon
After walking out of a movie in Yonkers, N.Y. on a recent
Sunday evening, a surgeon realized that his 2006 Honda CBR
1000 motorcycle was stolen from the theater parking lot.
Soon after contacting the Yonkers Police Department, the
doctor's motorcycle was quickly recovered thanks to LoJack
For Motorcycles. As a result of the timely recovery, his
motorcycle was still fully assembled and only suffered
minimal damage to the ignition lock.
This was the fourth time the owner had his motorcycle stolen
by thieves and recovered using LoJack For Motorcycles in the
past year. He had two motorcycles stolen prior to the 2006
Honda CBR. Neither bike was outfitted with a stolen vehicle
recovery system and neither was ever recovered.
Tucson Resident's Motorcycle Stolen and Recovered Four
Times in Nine Months
A Tucson, Ariz. resident discovered his 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600
missing from his apartment parking lot in the middle of the
night. He immediately contacted the police to report the
stolen motorcycle, and the silent LoJack transponder
concealed in his bike was automatically activated. Just 14
minutes after it was reported stolen, a Tucson Police
Department helicopter and a ground officer tracked the
LoJack signal to another apartment complex in the area.
There, they recovered the owner's Suzuki hidden in a pile of
bushes. This was the fourth time since August 2007 that the
owner's Suzuki was stolen by thieves and recovered by police
using LoJack For Motorcycles.
