- recovery stories
The owner of a 2013 Honda Civic contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that her vehicle was stolen from the 60 block of North Pecos Rd. The owner was visiting a friend in California when she met a male. She spent several days with him and she brought him back to Nevada with her. After a couple days they got into a domestic dispute because the male blamed her for using his drugs. He slapped her to the ground, took her car keys and purse for payment for the drugs. He then left in her Honda.
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 Honda.
A short while later officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan PD picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda 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 Honda to a weekly motel in the 100 block of East Tropicana. The Honda was located unoccupied and unharmed. The owner could not come and retrieve the Ford so it was towed for safekeeping.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda Civic in May 2017 at Crown Motors in Redding, California.
