The owners of a 2003 Toyota Camry contacted the Montgomery County Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home in the Rockville area of Montgomery County, Maryland.

The Montgomery County PD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Toyota.

A short while later officers from the United States Park Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Toyota with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Toyota to the 14th Street Bridge in Washington, DC. At that location, officers observed the Toyota being operated by the theft suspect. Officers were able to safely stop the Toyota at the location and arrest the operator for auto theft. The undamaged Toyota was then recovered by police.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2003 Toyota Camry during March 2003 at Fitzgerald Lakeforest Toyota in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
