The owner of a 2005 Mazda CX9 contacted the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department to report that her vehicle was stolen from her residence in the city of San Marcos.

The San Diego County SD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Mazda.

Within 16 minutes, deputies from the San Diego County SD Vista station picked up the silent LoJack signals from the stolen Mazda CX9 with the LoJack® Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the deputies tracked the vehicle to a residential area and found it abandoned near Bluff Place and Oak Valley Lane in Escondido.  Further inspection of the Mazda resulted in the recovery of several items that had been stolen in a vehicle burglary in the city of Escondido.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Mazda in January 2012 by BMW of San Diego in California.
