The owners of a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen.  The owners had parked the Chevrolet in front of their residence for the night leaving it secured.  When they returned in the morning they found that the Chevrolet had been stolen.

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 Chevrolet.

6 minutes later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet to a residential neighborhood and located it in the 3600 block of 3 Bar Court.  The Chevrolet was unharmed and unoccupied.  The Chevrolet was recovered and returned back to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Chevrolet Avalanche in July 2006 at BMW of Las Vegas in Nevada.
