While it's true that radar detectors are of no use with VASCAR, I would recommend Cincinatti Microwave (manufacturer/distributer of Escort, Passport, and Solo). I have owned an Escort radar detector for approximately 14 years. During that time I have never received a speeding ticket. If you read Car and Driver's annual radar detector reports Cincinatti Microwave detectors are always on top. Also the last time I saw an advertisement in Car and Driver or Road and Track the Escort at least had a feature that required a key to be inserted and turned something like every 3 months to re-enable the detector to work. If the detector was stolen it would soon no longer work. Another point is that if the radar detector is ever returned to Cincinatti Microwave for repair the serial number is checked against the registered owner (any discrepency found is checked with original owner and if it was stolen and not sold it is returned to owner). One more point is that the last time I knew of someone returning a Cincinatti Microwave radar detector for repair the charge was a flat fee of $5.00 (even if the entire unit is replaced) which included return shipping.
