During the evening hours, the owners of a 2008 Honda Accord discovered their car missing after nine days along with the keys. They immediately called the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System preinstalled by the dealership in the Honda.
Later that same evening a Canine Officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department began picking up the silent LoJack signal from the Honda with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) installed in patrol SUV.
The officer tracked the stolen Honda to a garage in a gated residential development. Officers contacted the homeowner who agreed to let them have the Honda. The homeowner produced fraudulent documents; showed he had bought the car for $7,000 dollars from the suspect several days before. Detectives were on scene to assist and determined the car’s Nevada Title and Bill of Sale were fraudulent. However the homeowner did manage to make a copy of the suspect’s Nevada Driver’s License who unlawfully sold the stolen Honda. Investigation is continuing and an arrest is pending.
The LoJack® System was preinstalled in the Honda Accord on November 2007 by Fuller Honda of Chula Vista, California.
