Answer and Explanation:

According to the given situation,

The car with the club enforces on the car without the club a negative externality if a robber experiences a car with the club and a car without them. A policy implication of that result is a tax on those who use the club.

If a car thief reaches two cars even without club, however the car thief is afraid to build a lojack system in one of cars, the car with the Lojakc system forces on the other car positive externality. A resulting policy consequence is a subsidy for those who use the Lojack system.
