without a verbal or clearly written warning from the device, you can expect any thief that gets zapped by that taser to sue, and win in doing so.

Whatever. If they are breaking into your car, its their own damn fault. Just like how you can legally shoot people who are stealing your property in Texas.

yea but that's a specific law protecting property owners. i agree with what you think, but unfortunately a judge probably won't.

there are some sick, corrupted judges. They should be fired and have a thorough review by the higher judges once a year

I will never understand some of the crap that happens in the American judicial system. To this day, it boggles my mind how that woman won the case against McDonald's for burning herself with the coffee.

"Gee judge, I didn't know that my hot coffee was hot."

Freaking dumbazzez!!!

Wow! Evo, you bought a 30k car and didn't even bother to install a lojack system that only cost a couple hundred dollars? It reduces insurance cost also.

Sorry to continue to take this off topic, but I don't care if 95% of her body ended up covered with 3rd degree burns. From what I remember of the case she placed a cup of coffee, a drink which by definition is hot (since it wasn't an ICED coffee or latte) between her legs. Sheer genius. There is such thing as "user error" and someone who doesn't have the intelligence to know that hot things burn/scald shouldn't drink them much less win a court case against the maker.

I think I'll go boil some water now and then sue the maker of my kettle...

How does this help?

Question - did you buy a $40 lock for your thousand dollar plus laptop?

If you don't know what a lojack is, it's a small tracking device that is hidden somewhere in your car. When your car is stolen, you call lojack and they notify the police. Police patrol equiped with a lojack locating device can then locate the stolen car easily by the signal strength of the lojack device and the direction it is coming from.

So, it's like putting a tracking device inside a laptop rather than a cheap lock.


EDIT: LoJack

Buy another evo, but pimp it out with anti-theft stuff. My bro had this idea of an air suspension security system: lower it all the way so the body touches the ground. Your parents are whack, you did everything to protect your car. This time, forget reason and be the most cynical guy on the planet.

By the way, this idiot in queens went to a baseball game and left his evo parked. I had a great time in it, handles like a dream, and there had to be some aftermarket touches to it. I took it and handed it over to a friend. Great car, sorry you lost yours.

I know what a lojack is. I was saying that your question does not help the situation.

It is almost like saying I told you so - "Gee, you should have bought better security for your car." Yes, maybe it would have been a good idea to invest in it, but telling someone that after the fact generally doesn't do anyone any good. I'm sure he'll already look into it for next time.

i heard somewhere a long time ago that lojack doesnt work in urban areas, not sure if theres any truth. something about the radio transmission bouncing off buildings way too much and cops always get stolen car signals so they dont even care anymore when it goes off.

LMAO! well, not really, but it's still funny. even though some other people have made similar comments, and they are kinda dumb (if theyre not serious, then it's just weird ) , it's still good for a laugh.
