LoJack® System Helps Law Enforcement Recover a Stolen 2002 Red Honda Accord

The owner of 2002 red Honda Accord 4-door sedan has a room in their home that they rent out.  While the owner was taking a shower, the renter took the keys to the Honda and the Honda vanished. The owner made numerous attempts to contact the renter with negative results.  The owner contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report their Honda stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the Honda’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically activated the LoJack^® Stolen Vehicle Recovery System concealed in the Honda.

Later that evening, a Miami Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda 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 Honda by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC. The officer, along with their backup, located the Honda near N.W. 14^th Street and 27^th Avenue, where they performed a “felony stop” on the Honda. The officers apprehended the driver, who was identified as the renter. The renter was arrested for Grand Theft Auto and drug possession. The Honda was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

The LoJack^® System was installed in the 2002 Honda Accord in June 2014.
