The owner of a 2003 MERCEDES BENZ E500 contacted the La Mesa Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen from his residence in the city of La Mesa.

La Mesa Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® transponder concealed in the Mercedes.

A short while later, officers from San Diego Police Department picked up the silent signals from the LoJack® System  installed in the stolen Mercedes E500 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 500 block of Stream View Road in San Diego. The stolen Mercedes was recovered and returned to it’s owner.

The LoJack® Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Mercedes Benz E500 on      November 22, 2006 in San Diego California.
