When a stolen vehicle is recovered ‘parked and unoccupied’, it usually means that the thief wants to give it a chance to ‘cool off’, hoping that law enforcement will stop searching for it after a while. Many thieves also know about the LoJack® system, so they want to make sure that if the stolen car, truck, van or motorcycle IS LoJack protected, that they are nowhere near it when the police recover it.
On July 7th, 2013, the owner of a 2008 Honda Accord contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from Rockfield Avenue in Baltimore. BCPD officers verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers. This automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Honda, which was installed at S.G. Hylen Motors in Staten Island, NY
A short while later, officers from the BCPD picked up the homing signals from the Honda on the LoJack tracking computers installed in their patrol vehicles. The officers tracked the vehicle to West Lafayette Street in Baltimore, where they found the Accord parked and unoccupied. The Accord was soon returned to its relieved owner.
