Search is down? Lojack worth it?

Can anyone run a search right now? I am getting no matches on the entire forum so sorry for this decade old question: do you think Lojack is worth it? I've been irked at the crime in my neighborhood/area lately (including a car theft close by) and it got me thinking about getting one of these things. I don't have Teleaid...

I've done my research elsewhere and it seems to be about 50/50 on getting Lojack. I'm curious to see what C63 owners think.

What other smart security technologies are out there that are befitting of this car (other then being smart yourself, etc.)?

Thanks for your opinions.

When they finally find your car with the Lojack you may not want the car back. Anyone see that post on the M3 board where that poor guy had his M3 stolen from the Palms casino? It got beat up pretty bad. I'll keep my $695.

This. And yes, I saw that thread, it's full of sadness. And to top it all off, it was brand new, if I remember correctly.

Your car most likely won't be the same after a theft. You would only hope they wouldn't be able to find it. So lojack would be no go.
