On August 7, 2012, the owner of a 2002 Honda Accord contacted the Everett Police Department to report the theft of the vehicle.  It was stolen sometime during a three-day period from a hospital parking lot at 13th & Lombard Streets in Everett. Everett Police verified the theft and entered the Honda’s vehicle identification number into the state and federal crime computers. This process automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Honda.

Approximately thirty minutes later, officers with the Marysville Police Department received the silent LoJack homing signal transmitting from the stolen Honda on the Police Tracking Computer installed in their patrol cars.  Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computer, the officers quickly tracked the vehicle to the 6100 block of 57th Avenue.  It was abandoned and did not appear to be damaged. The officers were able to develop some information on the suspect.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in this car in March of 2005 at Klein Honda when it was purchased as a used vehicle.  The value of the vehicle is approximately $6,500.
