LoJack Expands Into Tennessee to Help Combat Auto Theft

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 25 -- LoJack Corporation , the global leader in tracking and recovering valuable mobile assets, announced today that it has expanded its Stolen Vehicle Recovery System Network into Tennessee, beginning with the greater Nashville area.

With a better than 90 percent success rate in recovering stolen cars and trucks, LoJack brings to Tennessee the most effective solution to the growing problem of vehicle theft. LoJack's systems are based on time-tested radio frequency (RF) technology that is highly covert and highly effective -- even if the vehicle is in a steel container, garage or hidden under dense foliage. LoJack is also directly integrated with police -- the company's Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) are installed in law enforcement vehicles, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, which police use to track and recover stolen vehicles. Local and regional law enforcement agencies in Tennessee will use the LoJack system in the fight against auto theft.

"With nearly 25,000 vehicles stolen in Tennessee each year, auto theft is a serious issue that affects the citizens of this area," said Richard T. Riley, President and COO of LoJack Corporation. "We are pleased to provide communities in this state with our proven theft protection solution. Our entree into Tennessee is a reflection of the growing need that we see both domestically and internationally for our powerful, time-tested systems that track and recover valuable mobile assets."
