The owner of a 2016 Toyota Corolla went out of their home and discovered their car missing. They contacted the Miami-Dade 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.
Within minutes of activation, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Corolla on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen Corolla by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan unoccupied and abandoned in an office complex parking lot in the 13300 block of SW 131st Street. The Toyota was recovered, released to the owner, who responded to the scene, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2016 Toyota Corolla in March 2016 at Beaver Toyota in St Augustine, Florida.
