I have this on my laptop, I paid about $70 for a year with the $1000 guarantee that my laptop will be returned if stolen.
I can't say for sure if it works because my laptop hasn't been taken, but I was at the HPP Neighborhood Watch meeting today and the police officer there afterwards described a case which sounded just like Lojack (he couldn't remember the name). He said an organization called him up, asked him to look up a police report of a stolen laptop and gave him the actual address of where the laptop could be found. He went there and was able to retrieve it immediately. He couldn't say for sure if any arrests resulted from this but it's good to see that the system works and I'm sure it made someone think twice about handling stolen goods.
