The owner of a 2003 Ford F-250 pickup truck contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s Office to report that their vehicle was stolen sometime during the night. The responding deputy prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

Later that morning a Miami Gardens Police Department K-9 officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen F-250 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC).  The officer began tracking the stolen Ford by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer was joined by an auto theft detective from Miami Gardens PD and an Auto Theft Task Force investigator. The team converged upon the Ford in an isolated parking lot in the rear of an apartment complex near North 40th Avenue and Sheridan Street in Hollywood.  The Hollywood Police Department officers responded to continue the investigation. The Ford was recovered with driver door lock and ignition damage, towed to the Hollywood PD impound yard for safekeeping and processing, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.
