they use a "jiggle" key;it's a key that's filed down very thin,or they just
bust the steering column lock(it tears apart the steering column).
Sometimes,just a big screwdriver works.

LoJack does NOT keep your car from being stolen,it only aids in recovery
AFTER it's been stolen.
The newer OnStar installations can shut down the car once they are
notified,but the car will probably be miles away from you by that time.

Cops will destroy the stolen property to catch the guy who stole it.
Recovering the property in good shape but the thief getting away is not
an option.

You're exceedingly lucky.

You did and repeatedly mentioned that in order to drive the car after
push-starting it, one of the things needed was to "take the car out of
park."

Again, I ask, since you mentioned that one needs to "take the car out of
park" in order to drive it after push-starting it, how does one push
start a car with an automatic transmission?
