The owner of a 2007 Toyota Camry 4-door sedan discovered their vehicle missing from a residence where they had parked their car. The owner contacted the Miami Gardens Police Department to report their Toyota 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.

Later that evening, a Miami Gardens PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camry 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 Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the Toyota abandoned backed into the driveway of an abandoned house in the 20000 block of N.W. 34th Court. The Toyota was locked and did not appear to have any damage to it. The Toyota 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 2007 Grey Toyota Camry 4-door sedan in July 2006 at Lehman Toyota in Miami, Florida.
