The owner of a 2007 Ford F350 contacted the South San Francisco Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen. The victim stated the company vehicle was briefly left unattended and running at their business in the 900 block of El Camino Real, when an unknown subject drove off in the Ford.

The South San Francisco 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 Ford truck.

A very short while later, a detective with the San Mateo County Vehicle Theft Task Force picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford truck 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 detective tracked the Ford and located it parked unoccupied in the parking lot of a hospital in the 1200 block of El Camino Real in South San Francisco.

The Ford was recovered and released back to the owner at the scene.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford F350 in December 2006 for the commercial customer.
