The owners of a 2001 Toyota Camry contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from their home during a burglary where the keys to the vehicle were taken in the 3100 block Cedarhurst Lane in Baltimore City, Maryland.

The Baltimore City 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 Toyota.

A short while later officers from the Baltimore City PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Toyota with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in their patrol vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Toyota to the 400 block N. Luzerne Avenue in Baltimore City. At that location, officers observed the Toyota parked and unoccupied. Officers recovered the undamaged Toyota and had it towed to a crime lab for forensic processing.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2001 Toyota Camry in June 2008 by Castle Toyota in Baltimore, Maryland.
