The Hallandale Beach, FL residents in this case discovered their Honda Civic Del Sol missing just after 3 am on a recent Tuesday morning. The LoJack® system that was installed when the convertible was purchased proved what a good investment it was by helping local law enforcement recover the vehicle in less than a half hour after activation.
On January 14th, 2014, the Honda’s owners contacted the Hallandale Beach Police 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 Civic, which was installed at Maroone Honda of Hollywood, FL.
A few minutes later, a Hollywood PD officer picked up the homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his cruiser. The officer located the Honda parked and abandoned on Taft Street. The Civic Del Sol was retrieved and soon returned to its grateful owner. This was the third instance where this car had been stolen and successfully recovered by police assisted by LoJack.
