Just had another friend have his car ripped off. Urgh...
He had Lojack (dealer install) and they found the car in 6 hours and although the thieves had started to strip it, they hadn't done much damage.
Because a) he had his car stolen and b) it was recovered with Lojack and c) there's a sign up at my complex that a lot of cars have been stolen out of the parking lot lately I'm going to bite the bullet and install on my two drivers, the Land Cruiser and the P-car.
Here's the Q though:
Does anyone know where I can have it installed where I can watch the installation? Part of Lojack's deal is that even the owner doesn't know where the transmitter is located (so the theif can't hold you up for the information when carjacking you). I'm all for that BUT I am TOTALLY OPPOSED to having some monkey drilling in my cars or popping door panels to hide this thing. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT IS on MY cars and want to make sure it's installed to MY standards. The same reason I wrench on my own stuff.
The last thing I need is some 'technician' installing this thing on a car he knows nothing about, especially when I don't usually trust factory technicians with my cars...you get the idea.
I understand Locjack isn't supposed to tell the customer but if anyone knows of a good installer (or other option) please let me know. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to publicly implicate the parties in question!
Thanks!
