gps vehicle tracking systems

In order to gain piece of mind in the event my car is stolen (again), I am seriously considering this investment.

1) Anyone made this investment? If so, how much did you spend and have you ever had to use it?

2) Recommended products?(e.g.LoJack,MircoTRAKgps)

3) Ways thieves can overcome system?

Thanks.

These systems are amazingly effective, LoJack is the only one I am familiar with. Theives can disable the system IF they know the car is equipped with it and where it is located (usuall buried behing the dash assy). Of course, only a really dumb theif would steal a car equipped with this device, but, alas, most crooks are pretty dumb. Unsure of the cost of the device and service but you should be able to transfer it to another vehicle later.
Frankly, the most effective anti-theift system we've seen in the industry is the encoded keys that disable the vehicle when tampered with or attempted to be driven without the proper key. The only way a typical dirtbag will get your ride then is with a tow truck.

GPS Vehicle Tracking in realtime! This is ABC news coverage of the only true realtime tracking system on the market that does 5-second and 10 ...

There was a child that was abducted and molested. The only thing she could remember was the color of the truck. By using the GPS tracking system, the police were able to find out what trucks were at that site at the time of the crime and brought the offender to justice. A truck driver didn't show up for his delivery. His GPS showed him at a truck stop miles from where he was supposed to be. He suffered a heart attack in his truck. There are some good reasons for having the system in vehicles especially in emergency situations.

If a fleet of vehicles were getting fitted with a tracking system so they could be monitored from the office. What do you think the pros and cons would be to set the system up?

pros's, you and the people tracking you always know where your at ,and if in trouble and on a unknown road even at night , system like on star can locate and help, all cell phones can be tracked withing 4 inches of actual location, bad side if you a car thief, or just killed some one they also know where you are, and where you have been , but really that's a upside to, a real down side would be the back up power is dead on the tracking unit and its not working and they cant find your off a cliff that would be a down side
