The owner of a 2000 Honda Civic 2-door coupe contacted the Hollywood 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 afternoon, an Auto Theft Task Force investigator picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Civic on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The investigator began tracking the stolen Civic by following the directional and audible cues from the PTC. The investigator, along with their backup, located the Civic near in the rear parking lot of an apartment complex in the 3700 block of North 56th Avenue. The Civic was recovered with steering wheel ignition damage, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2000 Honda Civic 2-door coupe in March 2000 at Maroone Honda of Hollywood in Florida.
