    --  Downloadable Booklet: "Get in the Know" - http://bit.ly/kZt94
        - is an educational booklet co-produced by LoJack and NICB that details
        the steps owners can take to protect their vehicles from theft.

"In today's challenging economy, many people are keeping their vehicles longer, which is creating a brisk business for thieves who steal popular cars, trucks, motorcycles and heavy equipment, strip them down and sell off the parts," said D.J. Thompson, Law Enforcement Director for LoJack and theft prevention expert. "Since July and August are the highest vehicle theft months of the year and a time when so many families are enjoying summer drive vacations, it's more important than ever that people understand how to keep their vehicles safe from theft. Thieves know just how and when to strike and that is when your vehicle is most vulnerable. That's why LoJack and NICB team up on this important education initiative."

What Can Consumers Do to Keep Their Vehicles Safe?

By combining common sense approaches, theft prevention and immobilization devices and tracking/recovery systems, consumers can protect their vehicles from theft.

The first important step: Use Common Sense Measures. Never leave keys in the vehicle with the engine running. Don't hide a spare key in the vehicle. Close all windows and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle. Park in a well-lit area and, when at home, keep your vehicle in the garage. Don't leave valuables visible in your car, particularly those items that include information on your identity -- thieves can drive off not only with your car, but your identity as well.

The second step: Use Theft Prevention Products. A thief is less inclined to steal your vehicle if it has visible and audible warning devices like a wheel lock or alarm system.

The third step: Use Immobilization Devices. Immobilizers--which include smart keys, kill switches and fuel cut-off devices--offer another means of protection and make it that much more difficult for a thief to steal your vehicle.

The fourth 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.
