The owner of a 2006 Ford F-350 pickup truck parked their truck at the casino hotel. The next morning when they attempted to leave, they discovered their truck missing. They contacted Miccosukee Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen sometime during the night. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

Later that morning an Auto Theft Task Force investigator picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen F-350 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The investigator began tracking the stolen Ford by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The investigator, along with their backup from the Miami-Dade Police Department, located the Ford backed into a parking space in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 6700 block of S.W. 44th Street. The pickup truck was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.

The LoJack® System was installed in June 2005 in the 2006 Ford F-350 pickup truck at Maroone Ford of Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
