The owner of a 2005 Ford F-250 pickup truck contacted the Sweetwater Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

Immediately upon activation, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen F-250 pickup truck on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen F-250 by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. Simultaneously officers from the City of Miami Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol were tracking the stolen pickup truck as well. The officers, along with their backup, located the F-250 in the 3000 block of N.W. 20th Street. The pickup truck 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 2005 Ford F-250 in December 2004 at World Ford Kendall in Miami, Florida.
