LoJack® System Helps Law Enforcement Recover Stolen Vehicle

The owner of a 2004 Silver Toyota Corolla discovered their vehicle missing from their Miami Gardens home. The owner contacted the Miami Gardens 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 4-door sedan. A short while later, a member of the Auto Theft Task Force picked up the silent LoJack^® System homing signal from the stolen Corolla on their on-board LoJack^® System Police Tracking Computer (PTC), which assists law enforcement officers to locate stolen vehicles quickly and safely. The member began tracking the stolen vehicle by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The member, along with their backup from the Miami Gardens Police Department, located the vehicle in front of an abandoned house near the intersection N.W. 158^th Street and N.W. 26^th Avenue in Miami Gardens. The stolen Corolla was recovered, released to the owner, who responded to the scene, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems. The owner was extremely happy that the previous owner had installed a LoJack^® Stolen Vehicle Recovery System installed when they purchased the vehicle. She blessed the personnel who tracked and recovered the vehicle.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2004 Silver Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan in May, 2004.
