The driver of a 2009 Red Toyota Tundra pickup truck discovered their vehicle missing from their assigned parking space at their home. The owner contacted the Pompano Beach 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 pickup truck. Later that afternoon a Lauderhill Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack® System homing signal from the stolen Tundra 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 the 2600 block of N.W. 56th Avenue, Lauderhill. The 2009 Red Toyota Tundra pickup truck 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 2009 Red Toyota Tundra pickup truck in June, 2009.
