The owners of a Jeep Commander contacted the Loveland Police Department and reported that their Jeep had been stolen from inside their garage where it had been parked with the keys in it.
A police officer verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine action on the part of law enforcement automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Jeep.
A short time later the silent LoJack signal was picked up with a LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). LoJack PTCs are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft so that officers have first-hand control over locating and recovering stolen vehicles in a prompt and safe manner.
Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC a Corporal with the Colorado State Patrol located the stolen Jeep parked in an alley at the rear of several apartment buildings in the 400 block between 9th and 10th Streets in Loveland.
In addition to the concealment location the Jeep had its license plate removed and replaced with a Colorado Temporary license plate by the thief/thieves in an effort to disguise it and to avoid discovery.
This is the second stolen Jeep recovered in Loveland in less than one week. The CSP/BATTLE and Loveland PD are investigating.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Jeep Commander in January 2013 at AutoNation Chrysler Jeep West in Golden, Colorado, at the request of the current owner.
