The owner of a 2000 Chevrolet Impala 4-door sedan was carjacked out of their car. The owner contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report their Chevrolet stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers.

Immediately upon activation, a Homestead Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Impala on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The PTC enables law enforcement officers to track, locate and recover stolen vehicles quickly and safely. The officer began tracking the stolen Chevrolet by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the Chevrolet abandoned in the 200 block N.E. 10th Street, Homestead. The Chevrolet 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 2000 Chevrolet Impala in October 1999 at Grand Prize Motors Inc. in Miami, Florida.
