The owner of a 2008 Honda CRV contacted the Bay Area Rapid Transit Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen. The victim advised the Honda had been stolen from the parking lot of the Rockridge BART station in Oakland.

The BART Police Department 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 CRV.

A short while later officers from the California Highway Patrol Air Operations Unit picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda from the air with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the stolen Honda to the area of Broadway Terrace and Carlton Street in Oakland. The air unit notified an Oakland Area CHP ground unit who located the Honda parked unoccupied at the curb.

The Honda was recovered and towed/stored to be released to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda CRV in March 2008 at Pacific Honda in San Diego, California.
