The owner of a 2003 Toyota Camry 4-door sedan discovered their car missing. They contacted the Palm Bay Police Department to report their vehicle 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.

The next morning, while on routine patrol, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camry on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The trooper began tracking the stolen Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The trooper, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 1900 block of South 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 2003 Toyota Camry in February 2008 at Al Hendrickson Toyota in Coconut Creek, Florida.
