I had my first experience with Lojack today.
For those that don't know, I am in the USAF, so when a TSgt walks into my cube just after 1030 and asks my fellow Lt and I what we are doing for the next hour or two, (and might I add I had just gone through a bag drag
) we carefully say we are thinking about lunch, however that we will change our answer based on what info he has.
Sadly, I found out why one of the other Lts looked upset this morning (I thought it was that he had to go to some rather annoying powerpoint briefings this morning. Rather, it was that when he went to go to work, he walked all around the parking lot, thinking he must have parked somewhere abnormal. Nope, someone had jacked his Ninja sometime between when he went to bed and woke up.
He drove his truck in, called the cops, and went on his (un)merry way, heading out to main base for his training. That's where me and my other buddy come in. We get the phone number of the detective that called, get the address the bike was found at, and get hands on it before 1100, in time to keep it out of the impound lot.
I performed a cursory check of the bike, quick adjust of the clutch, and the owner rides it back to my garage to take pictures and talk with the insurance company.
Bottom line, there is a fair amount of scratching on the left side, missing left rear signal cover, and bent shift lever, but it is ride-able. And, more to the point, within probably 12 hours of the bike being stolen, I had my hands on the bike Not to bad as far as Lojack is concerned. Have to say I'm considering getting it.
(I also now have more motivation to tidy up my garage so if he ends up working on it himself, there's enough space!)
