LoJack® System Helps Law Enforcement Recover a Stolen 2007 Yamaha YZFR6 motorcycle

The owner of a 2007 Yamaha YZFR6 discovered their motorcycle missing. They contacted the Orange County Sheriff’s Office to report their Yamaha 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.

Later that afternoon, while on routine patrol, a Florida Highway Patrol sergeant picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Yamaha YZFR6 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The sergeant began tracking the stolen Yamaha by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The sergeant, along with their backup, located the motorcycle abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot in the 12900 block of Waterford Wood Circle, off Woodbury Road and SR 50. The motorcycle was recovered, released to the owner, who responded to the scene and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.

It should be noted that this is the second time this motorcycle was stolen. The last time was it was stolen it was successfully tracked, located and recovered with the use of the LoJack^® System.

The LoJack^® System was installed in the 2007 Yamaha YZFR6 in February 2007 at Orlando Yamaha in Florida.
