The drivers of two 2007 White Kenworth T800 parked their vehicles at a Doral hotel. The next morning they discovered both vehicles missing. The drivers contacted the Doral 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® System concealed in the Kenworth that was equipped with a LoJack® System. Within minutes of activation a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack® System homing signal from the stolen T800 tractor on their on-board LoJack® System Police Tracking Computer (PTC), which assists law enforcement officers to locate stolen vehicles quickly and safely. The officer began tracking the stolen vehicle by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the vehicle abandoned in 21900 block of S.W. 147th Avenue. The tractor was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

The LoJack® Stolen Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the 2007 White Kenworth T800 tractor in November, 2006 at Kenworth of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.
