The owner of a 2012 MINI COOPER contacted the Chula Vista Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen from his residence in the city of Chula Vista.

Chula Vista P D verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® transponder concealed in the Mini.

A while later, officers from Chula Vista P D picked up the silent signals from the LoJack® System  installed in the stolen Mini Cooper with the LoJack® Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the vehicle to a residential area at the 400 block of Thrush Street in the city of Chula Vista.

The LoJack® Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Mini Cooper on August 9, 2011 in Santa Ana California.
