On the morning of November 19, 2012, the owner of a Honda Civic awoke to find his vehicle missing from where he had parked on North Broadway Street in Salem, NH. The owner contacted the Salem Police Department to report his vehicle stolen sometime during the previous night.

Salem Police verified the theft and entered the Honda’s information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle.

A short while later, officers from the Lawrence (MA) Police Department began to pick up the Honda’s silent LoJack homing signals on the Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicle. One officer, in the area of Andover Street in South Lawrence, followed the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computer and quickly located the abandoned Honda at the end of Belknap Street near the Merrimack River. The officer reported that the vehicle had sustained ignition damage and had the Honda towed from the scene: it was held for safekeeping until the Salem, NH Police Department could notify the victim of the recovery.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the 1998 Honda Civic on May 13, 1998 at the Honda Village Dealership in Newton, Massachusetts.
