The owner of a Chevrolet Camaro convertible contacted the Owasso Police Department to report the Camaro was stolen from a residence in Owasso, Oklahoma.
The Owasso 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 stolen Camaro.
A short while later a deputy with the Creek County Sheriff’s Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camaro with the LoJack Tracking Computer (PTC) installed in patrol cars and aircraft. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC the deputy was able to quickly track the signal to the 9800 block of Old Sapulpa road in Creek County.
When located by the deputy the Camaro was determined to be behind a locked security gate of a business center. Upon gaining access the deputy observed the stolen Camaro backed into a parking space and unoccupied. The Camaro was found to be in good condition. The owner was notified of the recovery and will be reunited with his Camaro.
The LoJack® System was installed in this Chevy Camaro in January 2000 at Jennings Chevrolet in Waukegan, Illinois.
