The owners of a 2006 Pontiac GTO contacted the Prince George’s County Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home in the 1800 block Greenwich Wood Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The Prince George’s 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 Pontiac GTO.

Short while later officers from the United States Park Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Pontiac GTO with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles and helicopter.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Pontiac to the 1400 block Anacostia Avenue in Washington, DC. At that location, officers observed the Pontiac parked and unoccupied. Officers recovered the undamaged Pontiac and the owner responded to the scene to take possession of their vehicle.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2006 Pontiac GTO during January 2007 by S&S GMC in Baltimore, Maryland.
