>From what I can tell it's a transponder that is activated by Lojack when you
call to report the vehicle stolen. Police cars in various metropolitan
arean have a special direction finder that homes in on the signal given off
by the device. Installed cost is $600. Insurance companies even give you a
discount for the thing!
