Law enforcement officials last year recovered more than $122 million in vehicles equipped with the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System, according to the company’s seventh annual Vehicle Theft Recovery Report.

While the average value of vehicles recovered in 2015 was $10,287, thieves continue to target vehicles valued over $30,000.

LoJack attributes this to a phenomenon it dubs the “Connected Vehicle Thief,” one who is likely to be part of large, organized crime ring and has an incentive to target higher value vehicles that can dismantled for parts, re-sold, or shipped to overseas black markets.

And with a “smarter” thief comes more advanced tactics, such as acquiring and copying smart keys, using stolen credit reports and false identities to illegally finance vehicles, the use of mystery devices to unlock vehicles, and vehicle cloning.

“Our vehicles have become an extension of our digitally enabled lives and carry sensitive personal information about us. Each time a vehicle is stolen, it impacts the owner far beyond the loss of property,” said Pat Clancy, vice president of law enforcement for LoJack.

“While theft tactics are advancing, law enforcement officials and dealerships who partner with LoJack are dedicated to recovering vehicles in a timely fashion and minimizing the impact on owners.”

In fact, last year more than 90 percent of vehicles equipped with the device were recovered.

Other highlights from the report:
