The owner of a 2005 Toyota Tundra discovered their pickup truck missing from in front of their home. They contacted the Port St Lucie 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 the activation while on routine patrol, a Port St Lucie PD officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Tundra 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 pickup truck inside of fenced-in complex. The officer observed the Toyota and verified it by tag. The truck was recovered, removed from state and federal crime information computer systems by the entering agency and remained at the tow yard for safekeeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2005 Toyota Tundra in November 2006 at Palm Beach Toyota in West Palm Beach, Florida.
