Personally, I think it's the best thing out there. Well, that and a standard alarm system. Oh, and there's ways around the engine kill systems. It's called towing or pushing the car. Happens a lot.
Zbugger-

I have 2 friends in the San Rafael PD dept and they are not that impressed with lojack, and don't recommend it for our cars. It isn't very accurate because they triangulate the signal, and if you think the police response time is really fantastic all the time, guess again. He told me a couple stories where they couldn't find anything - not even close to pinpointing the location! Doesn't give me much comfort/peace of mind using that system, and that thing is expensive!

I think the Snitch looks better than Lojack and is much cheaper.
