The owner of a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 parked their truck in front of their home. The next morning when they attempted to use the Chevrolet to go to work, they discovered it missing. They contacted the Miami Springs Police Department to report their vehicle 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 Chevrolet.

The next afternoon while on routine patrol, a Miami Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Silverado 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 Chevrolet by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the pickup truck in the rear of a house in the 200 block of NW 73rd Terrace. The truck 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 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 in February 2002 at Grand Prize Motors Inc. in Miami, Florida.
