I don't have personal experience with having to use it, but I've heard good things from friends who've been there.

You can get a prepaid SIM card for it, or there used to be a service I don't remember the name of that was a purely per-use charge for devices like this. The advantage being that you can get the information directly from the unit, rather than going through LoJack or the police, so you can use it for low-priority checking. (Like looking to see if the car is somewhere your wife or kid goes on a regular basis before you report it stolen, or not having to get your wife to describe where she is when she calls you asking for directions...or, for that matter, looking it up from your smartphone when you can't remember where you parked.)

Well, Big Tony's definitely has a liquor license, and I've seen 51% licenses in places I wouldn't have expected alcohol to be the primary seller.

They're about $30 and can be bought online by anyone. I have one and it's about as easy as it gets to unlock vehicles.

I've used ham antennas to get into my wife's car and a few others to retrieve locked-in keys. Same process; make a gap big enough to get a long object in that's stiff enough to either hook a lock or press the unlock button. Some aftermarket mods also leave one or more power windows energized with the key off, and window buttons are very easy to hit with the antenna.
