A Suzuki GSX-R750 motorcycle was taken from its owner’s residence in Daytona Beach, FL on a recent Tuesday morning. The LoJack® system that was installed when the bike was purchased proved its value by helping local law enforcement recover it that afternoon.
On April 29th, 2014, the Suzuki’s owner contacted the Daytona Beach Police Department to report their motorcycle stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report and theft affidavit and had the bike’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically activated the LoJack device concealed in the GSX-R750, which was installed at Cycle World of Daytona in Daytona Beach, FL.
A short while later, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen motorcycle on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The officer requested backup from the MDPD Aviation Unit. The Suzuki was located beneath an overhang at the rear of a vacant house on 205th Street. The GSXR-750 was retrieved and soon returned to its relieved owner.
