The owners of a 2009 Toyota Corolla contacted the Houston Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from her driveway by two males banishing hand guns. The two suspects pushed the owner away and drove away in the Toyota.  The Houston PD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Toyota.

A short while later officers from the Houston PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Toyota with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Toyota to an apartment complex off of 8400 Cullen Blvd where they located the vehicle parked and abandoned in the parking lot. The Toyota was processed and released to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Toyota Corolla in May 2009 at Mike Calvert Toyota in Houston, Texas.
