In this case, a Honda Accord was parked on the street by its owner’s sister on a Sunday evening. When the owner went to retrieve the car Tuesday afternoon, it was gone. Thanks to the LoJack® system that was installed when the vehicle was purchased, it wasn’t missing for long. With LoJack’s help, local law enforcement recovered the Accord in less than an hour after activation.
On April 15th, 2014, the Honda’s owner contacted the Miami Beach Police Department to report his 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 device concealed in the Accord, which was installed at Ourisman Honda-VW of Laurel, MD.
Just a few minutes after activation, a Miami Beach PD officer picked up the silent System homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The Honda was located the vehicle on the top floor of a garage near Ocean Drive and Fifth Street, parked and abandoned. The undamaged Accord was retrieved and quickly returned to its grateful owner.
