The owner of a 2004 Ford F-350 pickup truck contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report their vehicle stolen from their home. 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 Hialeah Gardens Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen F-350 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 F-350 by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the F-350 abandoned in the 2500 block of West 70th Street. The F-350 was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

It should be noted that this was the second time that this vehicle had been stolen and recovered using the LoJack® System.
