The owner of a 1999 Honda Civic 2-door coupe contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s Office 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.

Immediately upon activation, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Civic on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The officer began tracking the stolen Civic by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the Civic in the 16600 block of N.W. 2nd 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 1999 Honda Civic 2-door coupe in May 1999 at South Motors Honda in Miami, Florida.
