Lo-Jack is a remotely activated transmitter.  When your car is stolen you
call Lo-jack and they activate the transmitter.  The police the use
direction finding equipment to locate the car.  I used to play in
transmitter hunts on amateur radio.  I had a doppler shift direction finder
that works on the same principal as Lo-Jack.  Darn thing really works.  I
was banned from the transmitter hunts because I was always able to drive
staight to the hidden tranmitter.

<<I like the 'indirection' approach : wire something trivial (like the dash
lights) to a different switch, then use the original switch as the kill
switch.  To get really fancy, add a three position switch in a
not-too-hidden location that activates a red LED in one position, and a
siren in another.  Make the siren latch 'on' for about 30 seconds.
Last, I haven't heard anyone mention Lo-Jack>>
