		<description><![CDATA[I used to like LoJack however with LoJack&#039;s very limited coverage area and old technology coupled with it&#039;s inability to transfer to my next vehicle I think the new technology (GPS) works better and gives the owner a lot more flexability. I also would be concerned about owners chasing their own stolen car however talking to Zoombak they work with the police in this aspect.

Cost, Zoombak wins here too, buy it and use it as long as you own the car, then buy a new car and transfer it and continue to use it. Unlike LoJack which forces you to buy a new loJack every time you buy a new car and by the way Zoombak costs less up front.

The best part of Zoombak is the ability to have it work every where, what happens if you buy a Lojack and move to Vermont or one of the other 27 states it doesn&#039;t work in? Will the car dealer or LoJack reimburse me, I don&#039;t think so. They advertise coverage in 23 states however most of the time it is just one or two counties. I would reccommend checking with your local police dept. defore buying a Lojack you might be surprised here to. I also can use Zoombak on my ATV, boat and jet ski, again Lojack loses here too.

The world moves fast and GPS is in the future. 8-Track Tapes, VCR&#039;s and cathode tube televisions where great at one time but we all know what happened to them. If you don&#039;t advance your technology you lose. I personally have used GPS for the last ten years it works, cost less, is good everywhere and is transferable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Upfront - I&#039;m with LoJack; while Zoombak looks fine, the facts need work.  

Cost - LoJack costs less, not more.  It has no monthly fee, so while it costs more upfront to pay for the police tower network, breakeven is about 3 years compared to Zoombak.  And LoJack lasts as long as that car is on the road; documented recoveries each month on vehicles installed 15-20 years ago.  

Recovery - Would anybody suggest trying to actually recover their own vehicle?  Police have LoJack tracking computers in helicopters and patrol cars, automatic alerts of stolen LoJack vehicles in the area means they can track, AND recover your vehicle fast, typically within hours, guaranteed in 24 hours.  Leave recovery to the professionals.]]></description>
