The owners of a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen.  The owners had parked the Chevrolet in the driveway of their residence and went inside for the night.  Upon returning the next morning to use the Chevrolet they found it missing.

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.

9 minutes later officers from the North Las Vegas Police Department 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 the parking lot of a business in the 100 block of East Cheyenne.  The Chevrolet was unoccupied and unharmed.  The Chevrolet was recovered and released back to the owners.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Chevrolet Silverado in November 2002 at Cormier Chevrolet in Long Beach, California.
