For the forgetful (luxury) car owner



Car theft isn’t funny. And honestly that’s true whether you happen to own a luxury vehicle with all the bells and whistles or a car that would be worth more if it was totaled. Some people have special attachments to their cars, may have a name for it, and other things, but at the base of it all is the good-feeling of having wheels so you can go somewhere…even if you don’t know where.

To protect the car—that prized vessel of mobility—a very thoughtful gift is some type of security system. There are several products out on the market that can fit all types of budgets.

The Products:
LoJack
This is an automotive recovery system that is operated by the police. Check out: http://www.lojack.com/

The Club®
This is an oldie but goodie. I remember my parents using this product (a gift from my uncle). It’s good because it’s visible so at least any potential thieves know they can’t take the car for a spin. Also, there are color options, so try to match the interior if you want or go for a splash of color. Why not? Security can be fabulous too.
