The owner of a 2005 Dodge Magnum returned to his vehicle that he had parked earlier in the day in Boston, he discovered that it was gone. He immediately contacted the Boston Police Department C-11 District Station to see if it had been towed for some reason. After checking their tow log, with negative results, the victim went to the District Station to file an official report.
The Boston Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Dodge Magnum. A short while later, officers from the Boston Police Department began picking up the silent signals from the LoJack® System installed on the stolen Dodge in the area of Blue Hill Avenue in the Dorchester section of Boston, on the LoJack® Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack® computers, the officers were able to successfully track and then quickly locate the unoccupied and undamaged stolen vehicle parked near the intersection of Wales and Harvard Streets. The Officers had the vehicle towed from the scene for safekeeping and pending notification of the victim.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2005 Dodge Magnum on 05/17/2005, by Justin Santospago at the Herb Chambers Dodge Dealership in Danvers, MA.
