The owner of a 2008 Audi A-4 contacted the New York Police Department to report their vehicle was stolen while parked near his place of business on Junction Blvd. in the confines of Queens’ 110th precinct.

The NYPD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Audi.

A short while later, officers assigned to the NYPD’s 110th precinct picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Audi 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 and located the unoccupied Audi parked on 94th Street between 59th and 60thAvenue in the confines of Queens’ 110th precinct. Surveillance was setup for a short time with negative results.  The undamaged Audi was eventually returned to a very happy owner at the recovery location.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Audi A-4 in December 2007 at Life Quality of Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, New York.
