For the second time in just over one year, this Lexus was discovered missing from the 200 block of 16th Avenue East in Seattle. It was stolen sometime during a twenty-four hour period.

When the theft was discovered it was reported to the Seattle Police Department who verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Lexus.

Later that afternoon a Seattle PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Lexus on the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the car was located at Harvard Avenue East & East Olive Street.

It was abandoned and apparently undamaged. Prior theft of this same Lexus occurred in June 2014.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Lexus in August 2006 by Lexus of Bellevue in Washington.
