The owner of a Lexus ES300 contacted the Chicago Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from in front of their residence on Chicago’s Northwest side in the Cragin neighborhood. The Chicago PD verified the vehicle as stolen and entered it into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Lexus.

A short while later, patrol officers from the Chicago PD 025th and 015th Districts picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Lexus on their LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Chicago PD officers tracked the Lexus to the 2200 block of N Monitor Ave in Chicago’s Belmont Central neighborhood where it was recovered unoccupied. Police investigation into the Lexus theft continues.

The Lexus was recovered undamaged and returned to a grateful owner within four hours of it being stolen.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Lexus at Lexus of Orland, Orland Park in March 1996.
