On the morning of November 28, 2012, the owner of a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder contacted the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department to report the vehicle stolen. Pierce County deputies verified the theft and entered the vehicle identification number into the state and federal crime computers. That process automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Nissan.

A short while later, Pierce County Sheriff deputies received the silent LoJack homing signal transmitting from the stolen Nissan on the Police Tracking Computer installed in their patrol cars.  Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computer, the deputies quickly tracked the SUV to an alley behind a residence in the 5300 block of South Oakes Street, where it was found abandoned and undamaged. The vehicle was valued at approximately $13,000.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in this Nissan Pathfinder in August of 2007 when it was purchased at Beaverton Chrysler-Dodge in Beaverton, Oregon.
