The operator of a 2014 Bobcat T650 skid steer loader arrived at their job site after the weekend and discovered their piece of construction equipment missing. They contacted the North Miami Police Department to report their machine stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen equipment 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 Bobcat.

 

Later, while on routine patrol, a North Miami PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen T650 skid steer loader 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 Bobcat by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the skid steer loader in the 1600 block of NW 119th Street. The piece of construction equipment was recovered, removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency and released to the operator at the scene.

 

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2014 Bobcat T650 skid steer loader in September 2014 via Commercial Sales in Florida.
