LoJack® System Helps Law Enforcement Recover a Stolen 1999 Toyota Corolla

The owner of a 1999 Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan parked their car in front of their apartment house. The next morning when they attempted to use it they discovered their Toyota missing. They contacted the Miami Beach 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.

Immediately upon activation, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the 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 near NW 118^th Street and NW 22^nd Court. 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 1999 Toyota Corolla in April 1999 at Toyota of Hollywood in Florida.
