The owners of a Ford Mustang in Miami Beach, FL, parked it in the city on a recent Friday afternoon, and discovered it missing when they returned that evening. Local police, with help from the LoJack® system hidden inside the convertible, were able to make a same day recovery.

On May 2nd, 2014, the Ford’s owner contacted the Miami Beach 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 Mustang, which was installed at World Ford of Pembroke Pines, FL.

A short while later, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The Ford was located on Michigan Avenue and quickly retrieved and returned to its happy owners.
