LoJack® System Helps Law Enforcement Recover a Stolen 1996 Toyota Corolla

The owner of a 1996 Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan parked their car in the parking lot of their apartment complex. When they returned later in the day attempting to use their Toyota, they discovered it missing. They contacted the Orange County Sheriff’s Office to report their Toyota stolen. The responding deputy prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

The next day, while on routine patrol, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Corolla on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The trooper began tracking the stolen Corolla by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The trooper, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan abandoned in the 17900 block of East Colonial Drive. The Corolla 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 1996 Toyota Corolla in February 1996 at Massachusetts Direct Customer.
