The owner of a 2003 Nissan 350ZX 2-door coupe parked their car in a municipal parking lot at the southern tip of Miami Beach. When they returned later that night they discovered their Nissan missing. They contacted the Miami Beach Police Department to report their Nissan 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.
Later that morning, while on routine patrol, a Homestead Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen 350ZX on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen 350ZX by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 350ZX in the 100 block of S.W. 16th Avenue. The 350ZX was in good condition. Apparently this vehicle was taken with the use of a spare key that may have been left in the car, as it was not recovered with the vehicle. The 350ZX 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 2003 Nissan 350ZX in January 2003 at Acme Nissan in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.
