On a recent early Monday morning, this Manatee County, FL resident discovered his Ford F-150 had been stolen from his driveway. This owner was prepared for this unfortunate situation because he had the LoJack® system installed when he purchased his pickup. With LoJack’s help, the truck was recovered by local law enforcement in less than an hour after activation.

On December 30th, 2013, the Ford’s owner contacted the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office to report their vehicle stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report and theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the pickup truck.

Within minutes of activation, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the homing signal from the stolen truck on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The officer located the Ford parked and abandoned in a lot on S.W. 120th Street. The F-150 was retrieved and soon returned to its pleased owner.
