The owner of a 2008 BMW 535i 4-door sedan contacted the Miami-Dade 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 while on routine patrol a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen BMW on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The officer began tracking the stolen BMW by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the BMW in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 9900 block of S.W. 224th Street. The BMW was recovered with no apparent 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 2008 BMW 535i in April 2007 at Braman BMW in West Palm Beach, Florida.
