The owner of a 2003 Volkswagen Bug contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen.  The Volkswagen was parked in the owners’ place of business in the 1900 block of industrial, was left parked and locked.  When the owner got off work the Volkswagen was found missing from the parking lot.

A police officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Volkswagen Bug.

A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Volkswagen with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Volkswagen to 9900 block of West Sahara.  The Volkswagen was located unoccupied and returned to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Volkswagen Bug in February 2003 at McKenna BMW Porsche Audi VW in Norwalk, California.
