The owner of a 2016 Ford Focus contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen from the 7200 block of Pirates Cove. The owner had come home for the evening and left his keys in the front lock of his apartment. When he went to leave the next day he realized this and found that his keys as well as his Ford were missing.

A police officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Ford.

A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Ford to the intersection of Ann and Drexel where the Ford was located unoccupied. The Ford was recovered and returned back to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford Focus in September 2016 at Friendly Ford in Las Vegas, Nevada.
