theives usally take the car to a chop shop. it took them about 2 months to strip my honda. what makes this system good is that when police find ur car they also find all the other cars at the shop. the only bad thing is, is that for now, they are not avalible in all areas.just large citys pretty much. clarion will be comming out with a similer sytem that you can also track your self. thats what i wish i had becase if my car gets jacked again i want to make sure i can track down who did it and kill them.
