The owner of a 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen with the keys from their home in the 1200 block Harwood Avenue 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 Oldsmobile.

A short while later detectives in the Regional Auto Theft Team picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Oldsmobile 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 Oldsmobile to the 500 block W. 28th Street in Baltimore City. At that location, detectives observed the Oldsmobile being operated by the theft suspect. The Oldsmobile was stopped by detectives and the suspect arrested.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass in July 1999 at Anderson Chevrolet Oldsmobile in Baltimore, Maryland.
