The owner of a 2014 Toyota Camry 4-door sedan parked their car near N.E. 5th Avenue and N.E. 36th Street in the evening. The next morning when they attempted to use their Toyota they discovered their car missing. They contacted the Miami Police Department to report their Toyota 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.
Shortly thereafter, while on routine patrol, a Miami PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camry on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen Camry by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan abandoned with ignition and trunk lock damage, near N.W. 2nd Court and N.W. 58th Street. The Camry 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 2014 Toyota Camry in July 2014 at Kendall Toyota in Miami, Florida.
