On July 16, 2012, the owner of a 2005 Infiniti FX3 contacted the Philadelphia Police Department to report that the vehicle had been stolen from the 800 block of Bridge Street in Philadelphia.  Philadelphia Police verified the theft and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Infiniti.

A short while later, officers from the Philadelphia Police Department’s 8th Police District picked up the silent LoJack homing signal from the stolen Infiniti on the LoJack 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 8100 Block of Frankford Avenue, where the officers observed the legally parked subject vehicle. The officers cautiously approached the vehicle and determined that it was unoccupied. The officers confiscated the Infiniti for safekeeping and the notified the grateful owner of the recovery.   

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Infinity FX3 in June of 2005 at Kelly Infiniti of Danvers, Massachusetts.
