When the Miami Gardens, FL residents in this case discovered their 2009 Honda Civic stolen, they knew it had been a smart decision to have the LoJack® system installed when they purchased their car. Local law enforcement, with help from LoJack, recovered the vehicle later that same day.

On March 12th, 2014, the Honda’s owner contacted the Miami Gardens Police Department 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 Miami, FL.

Later that afternoon, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. Also tracking the signal from the stolen vehicle were officers from the Florida Highway Patrol and Miramar Police Department. The officers located the Honda parked and abandoned on N.W. 213th Terrace. The Civic was retrieved and soon returned to its grateful owner.
