On Tuesday morning, July 31, 2012, the owner of a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck contacted the Miramar Police Department to report the vehicle stolen. Miramar Police verified the theft and had the Ford’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle.

A short while later, an officer with the Miami-Dade Police Department picked up the silent LoJack homing signal from the stolen Ford F-250 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking computer (PTC). Following the directional and audible cues on their PTC, the officer, along with backup, located the vehicle parked and abandoned in an apartment complex in the 3200 block of N.W. 135th Street, in Opa Locka, Florida. The vehicle was recovered, released to the owner at the scene, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Ford F-250 pickup truck on May 22, 2006 at Gus Muchado Ford in Hialeah, Florida, and has been protecting it ever since.
