The owners of a 2001 Acura Integra contacted the Allentown Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen. The Allentown PD dispatched an officer to investigate the incident. The officer quickly arrived on location, interviewed the vehicle owner and surveyed the area for the stolen Acura. When the Acura could not be located, the assigned officer prepared a stolen vehicle report and arranged for the information to be entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Acura.

The members of the Lehigh County Auto Theft Task Force monitor all stolen vehicle activity within their jurisdiction. The highly trained investigators became aware of the stolen Acura and fanned out across the county in their undercover police vehicles which are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC). The investigators soon picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Acura with the PTC. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the investigators tracked the signal to a residential area and observed the parked and unoccupied Acura. The investigators recovered the Acura and the incident remains under investigation by the members of the Lehigh County Auto Theft Task Force.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Acura Integra in December 2000 at Acura of Ramsey in New Jersey.
