The owner of a 2006 Toyota RAV4 parked their SUV in the elevated parking garage of their apartment complex. When they returned the next afternoon they discovered their SUV missing. They contacted the North Miami 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, which automatically activates the LoJack® System concealed in the Toyota.

 

Shortly after activation, while on routine patrol, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen RAV4 on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), that are installed in law enforcement patrol vehicles, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The officer began tracking the stolen Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the sport utility vehicle abandoned in the 800 block of NW 155th Lane in North Dade. The SUV was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency.

 

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2006 Toyota RAV4 in September 2006 at Millennium Superstore in Hempstead, New York.
