I did a search with several variations of the above title but came up with nothing which I find hard to believe so it's probably me not using the correct search criteria.  Anyway, I was curious to what others on this site are using for either anti theft systems and or recovery systems in case their E-body gets stolen?   Back in the day LoJack was the go to recovery system but with all the advancements in the past few decades and smart phone technology/tracking I would assume there are now several GPS type tracking systems available that a DIY person could install in their E-Body.  Just to clarify I'm not really concerned about somebody stealing my 'Cuda when I'm out and about with it since it's rarely out of my sight.  I'm more concerned about the guy who breaks into my garage and hooks it to a tow truck when I'm not home.  After all the blood, sweat and tears, not to mention money, that I've put into this restoration I would be majorly upset if somebody made off with my 'Cuda.   :verymad:  Yes, it's heavily insured, but that still wouldn't make up for the personal loss.

I've used this company for my nieces Cuda.  Don't know if my brother still has a contract, but I see they have other options.

 :thinking: Being that your car is a4-speed, A tow truck is the more likely scenario!!!  Most millennial's would not be able to figure out how to drive it away.   :haha: :rofl:

I have been looking too and seems you have to pay a monthly fee of about 12.00 for services? On GPS trackers

Some have said put an old IPhone hidden somewhere with it hooked up to a power source to keep charged which means you need to keep car on battery tender when not being used.....

Old iPhone needs a data plan too... And generally those are more than $12 a month...
