The owner of a 2006 Toyota Corolla finished their shift at the airport and returned to where they parked their car. After searching the parking lot they determined that their Toyota had been stolen. They contacted the Miami-Dade Police Department to report their Toyota stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle 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 Toyota.

Shortly after activation while on routine patrol, a Miami Gardens Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Corolla on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC) that are installed in law enforcement patrol vehicles and aircraft. The officer began tracking the stolen Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the 4-door sedan abandoned near NW 159th Street and NW 54th Avenue. The Toyota was recovered, removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency and towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2006 Toyota Corolla in June 2006 at Red McCombs Toyota in San Antonio, Texas.
