A car dealership in Edmonds became the victim of auto theft after a person who test drove a Volvo drove off with it while the salesperson was distracted.

The theft was immediately reported to the Edmonds 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 Volvo.

Just ten minutes later, an Edmonds PD officer, equipped with a LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Volvo. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officer located the Volvo at a nearby motel. A suspect with the Volvo was arrested and booked into jail. The victim car dealer had no idea the Volvo was equipped with LoJack.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Volvo V70 in March 1999 at Theodore Robins Inc. in Costa Mesa, California.
