The owner of a 2009 Toyota Corolla contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen sometime during the night. The police 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.

Later that morning a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Corolla on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen Corolla by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the Corolla abandoned and properly parked in an apartment complex parking lot in the 18200 block of N.W. 73rd Avenue. The Corolla was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2009 Toyota Corolla in October 2008 by Toyota of Hollywood in Florida.
