Any Issues with 370's getting stolen? Bound for Fort Bliss
 
I'm on orders to Fort Bliss, Texas (Juarez, Mexico effectively) and I'm kinda worried about whether or not I will see my car where I left it any given morning once I get there.

Question 1: Thread title, Any issues with 370 theft?
Q 2: Would it be worth it to install Lo Jack if so?
and Q 3: How is the Crime rate down there?

Been here for 8 years now, the crime rate here is pretty low, considering the war zone going on across the border. Auto theft here is relatively high, but it also depends on where you want to live and what you drive, truck theft is more of an issue. As long as you stay out of the lower valley and move to a predominantly military community, you'll be fine. Keep in mind that the 370 has a pretty sweet anti theft locking mechanism built in, I doubt the idiots here could ever steal one. So lojack is a no. So far the only forum members here are myself, Zsteve and Kgreen, we have a pretty sweet Z car club, I have a thread about us, so check it. Hit me up with a PM when you get here and I'll show you around. Just curious, are you married or single?

I believe he's doing a Permanent Change of Station, its not a one week stay, its usually for a few years.

yeah, its A PCS move, Married but will be a Geo Bachelor so its Barracks life for me. Still in TrashCanistan ATM but working pretty high levels to swap orders with a buddy, though its not looking great.

I appreciate the SA on the Area, and well most likely see ya down there

Before installing a LoJack you might check the coverage for the area you will be using it in: Current Coverage Area

Been there, done that, its not a bad place at all man, I think you'll like it. Like they say, dont knock it til ya try it! Be safe over there.

Heh, Hopefully It's better than I remember it. Drove through El Paso a couple times a few years back before the Army and I have no fond memories of it!

Then Again, I didn't stop aside from mid July Traffic Jams...

El paso aint as bad as people think... the z club here is growing pretty fast, if you ever go through with the change be sure to cruise with them!!!

~Just my 2 cents~
