This Ford F150 pickup was stolen during the night from the 300 block of Warwick Street in Enumclaw. The next morning the owner discovered the theft and reported it to the Enumclaw Police Department who verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Ford.

Just three minutes later, a Pierce County Sheriff’s Department deputy received the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford truck on the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Ford was located abandoned in an apartment complex parking area in the 10100 block of 186th Street East in Graham. It did not appear to be damaged.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford F150 in February 2008 at Fugate Ford in Enumclaw, Washington.
