When the Philadelphia, PA resident in this case found his Toyota Corolla missing very early one Saturday morning, he called police right away. The victim knew that only the police could activate the LoJack® system hidden in his Corolla, and, with LoJack’s help, they were able to recover it in just half an hour.
On October 26th, 2013, the Toyota’s owner contacted Philadelphia Police to report the crime. The assigned officer verified the theft, prepared a stolen vehicle report and entered the information into the Philadelphia Police Computer System, the Philadelphia Crime Information center and the Pennsylvania State Police Computer. This procedure automatically activated the LoJack device concealed in the Corolla, which was installed at Sloane Toyota in Glenside, PA.
A short time later, officers from the Philadelphia Police 22nd District picked up the homing signals from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computers installed in their patrol vehicles. The officers tracked the Toyota to Cecil B. Moore Avenue where they found it parked and unoccupied. The Corolla was soon returned to its very grateful owner.
