This Santee, CA resident was understandably upset to find her BMW 328i missing early one Friday evening. Her local police, with help from the LoJack® system, helped to ease her pain by recovering her vehicle in less than 90 minutes after activation.

On November 8th, 2013, the BMW’s owner contacted the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to report the crime.  Deputies verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers. This procedure automatically activated the LoJack unit concealed in the 328i, which was installed at BMW of San Diego, CA.

A short while later, officers from the San Diego PD picked up the homing signals from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computers installed in their patrol vehicles.  The officers tracked the BMW to a residential area on Potomac Street in San Diego.  The officers detained a female as she attempted to back up from a parking stall. The owner was very happy to have her undamaged 328i returned to her.
