The owner of a 2006 BMW X5 contacted the San Diego Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen from his residence in San Diego.

The San Diego PD 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 X5.

Nine minutes later, officers from San Diego PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen BMW X5 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 BMW to the 1300 block of 43rd Street in San Diego.

The BMW was recovered undamaged.

The LoJack® System was installed in the BMW X5 in December 2005.
