On June 13, 2012, the owner of a 2010 Toyota Camry contacted the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the 2700 block of Lanier Place in Washington, DC. DC police verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Toyota

A short while later, officers from the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department picked up the silent Lojack homing signals from the stolen Toyota on the Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers the officers tracked the vehicle to the 1700 block of 15th Street NE in Washington, DC. There, the officers recovered the unoccupied stolen Toyota.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Toyota Camry in August of 2010 at Enterprise 5297 in San Antonio, Texas.
