On October 30, 2012, the owner of 2011 Toyota Camry had his vehicle stolen from the street in San Jose, California. San Jose Police verified the crime information and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle. LoJack is the only theft recovery system that is directly operated by law enforcement and this interface is seamless and instantaneous.
Minutes later, San Jose Police and Santa Clara Auto Theft Force officers picked up the silent LoJack homing signals from the stolen Camry with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. The LoJack PTC provides officers with on-board information which permits them to locate the stolen vehicle quickly and with an increased margin of safety.
Santa Clara Auto Theft Task Force officers located the vehicle, abandoned on the street in central San Jose. The undamaged vehicle, valued at $27,000, was released to the owner at the scene
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Toyota Camry on February 10, 2012 in San Jose at Enterprise Sales.
