The owners of a Honda CR-V parked their vehicle in front of their Miami, FL home on a recent Monday. When they returned to the spot the next day, their SUV was gone. The LoJack® system that was installed when the CR-V was purchased proved its worth by helping local law enforcement recover it later that same day.
On May 27th, 2014, the Honda’s owners contacted the Miami 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 CR-V, which was installed at Maroone Nissan of Kendall, FL.
A short while later in the day, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen SUV on his on-board LoJack tracking computer and requested backup from a Hialeah PD officer. The officers located the Honda on W. 16th Avenue, where it was parked and abandoned. The CR-V was retrieved and soon returned to its thankful owners.
