The owners of a 2007 Honda Odyssey contacted the New York Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen while parked near their residence on Demeyer Street in the confines of the Bronx’s 48th 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 Honda.

A short while later officers from the Suffolk County Police Department’s 1st Precinct picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda 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 Honda parked in a commercial parking lot on Lincoln Ave., in Amityville, NY, in the confines of Suffolk County’s 1st Precinct. Surveillance was setup for a short time with negative results.  The undamaged Honda was eventually returned to a very happy owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2007 Honda Odyssey in November 2010 at Paragon Honda in Woodside, New York.
