This Cadillac was stolen from the owner’s residence sometime during the night. The owner left the keys in the door of the Cadillac while unloading items and forgot to remove them. An opportunistic thief took advantage of the situation and drove off with the Cadillac.
When the theft was discovered the following morning, it was reported to the Tacoma Police Department who verified the report and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Cadillac.
Just ten minutes later, the Tacoma PD officers, equipped with a LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Cadillac. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Cadillac was located at 58th Street & “L” Street. It was abandoned and undamaged.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Cadillac CTS in August 2008 via Direct Sales in California. The current owner bought the Cadillac as a used car and was not aware LoJack was installed when it was in California.
