The owners of a 2013 Honda CRV contacted the Chicago Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the 2400 block of west Division Street in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood.  The Chicago PD responded to scene and after verifying facts as presented entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Honda.

Short time later officers from multiple districts began picking up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen CRV with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  The CRV was tracked to the 4600 block of south Ashland Avenue where it was recovered parked and unoccupied. The Chicago PD recovered the stolen Honda on scene, investigation into the vehicle’s theft continues.

The grateful owner received his car back within one day of it being stolen undamaged. The Lojack was installed in the 2013 Honda CRV at Castle Honda in Morton Grove, Illinois, in April of 2013.
