2014 Infiniti Q50 Stolen from Rental Company Recovered by NYPD with Help from the LoJack® System

It was around 8 PM on a recent Friday evening when the manager of a vehicle rental business in Manhattan, NY discovered a 2014 Infiniti Q30 missing from their lot. The business owners were well aware that a stolen rental unit meant not only the loss of an asset but its rental income as well. This is why they chose to protect their vehicles with the LoJack® system. With LoJack’s help, local law enforcement recovered the car quickly and safely.

On April 11^th, 2014, the rental lot manager contacted the NYPD in lower Manhattan to report the theft. Officers took a written report and entered the information into the NYPD Stolen Auto Computer and the NCIC national crime computer. This procedure automatically activated the LoJack device concealed in the Q50.

A short while later, officers from the 90^th Precinct Anti-Crime Unit picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computers installed in their patrol vehicles. The Infiniti was located parked at the curb of a residential street. As police approached, the car started to pull away but a traffic stop was performed and the driver was taken into custody. Further investigation revealed that the suspect was a former employee of the rental company. The manager of the lot was elated that the Q50 was recovered and returned so quickly.
