The owners of a 2014 Ford F150 contacted the Los Angeles Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen.

The LAPD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Ford.

A short later, the LAPD “Air 10” flight officers picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the flight officers tracked the Ford to the area of the 210 freeway and La Tuna Canyon Road. Patrol officers from the LAPD-Foothill Division responded and located the Ford in the area of the 10800 block of La Tuna Canyon Road. The Ford was parked on the street and had been abounded by the suspect.

This is the 2nd time that this Ford has been reported stolen, tracked and then recovered by law enforcement officers.

The Ford was impounded for safe keeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford in August 2014 by Galpin Ford in North Hills, California.
