When my aunt bought a car she had lojack installed, and the manager walked into the shop a few times to check something with the mechanic. After the third or fourth time, he asked what was taking so long, and the mechanic replied, "I was installing the lojack box and every time you walked in I had to change where I was putting it."
This is the kind of thing you should find reassuring when you buy a car.

BUMP KEYS |
Bump keys have been around for many years. Unfortuantely, the newfound publicity means that any jackass can do it rather than it being a trick of the locksmiths and professional burglars.
As for my advice, protect your home with a TV and lights on a timer and NRA stickers on all of your doors.
