The owner of a 2007 Mercedes Benz C230 contacted the San Diego Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen in the city of 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 Mercedes Benz.

A short while later, officers from the San Diego PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Mercedes Benz C230 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 Mercedes to the 2300 block of 54th Street in San Diego.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Mercedes Benz C230 in December 2006.
