The owners of a 2003 BMW X5 contacted the Albuquerque Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from a residence in southwest Albuquerque.  The Albuquerque 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 BMW.

A short time later, officers from Albuquerque PD picked up the silent LoJack® homing signals from the stolen BMW 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 an apartment complex in the area of Alice and Alvarado in Southeast Albuquerque.

The stolen BMW was recovered with no obvious damage and was towed from the scene for the safe return to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the BMW X5 in September 2003.
