 On January 29, 2013, the owner of a 2012 Mazda 5 contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from her driveway in the 2200 block of Allendale Road in Baltimore, Maryland.

Baltimore City Police verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Mazda

A short while later, detectives from the Regional Auto Theft Team and flight officers in the Baltimore County Aviation Unit, ”Air 1”, picked up the silent LoJack homing signals from the stolen Mazda on the Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles and helicopter. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers the detectives tracked the vehicle to the 1000 block of Upnor Road in Baltimore City. There, the officers located the unoccupied stolen Mazda.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Mazda 5 in November, 2012 at Russell Mazda in Baltimore, Maryland.
