The owners of a Chevrolet Tahoe contacted the Denver Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen from their home in the Montclair/Lowry area of Denver.

A police officer verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine action on the part of law enforcement automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Chevrolet.

Six-minutes later officers with the Denver PD and investigators with the Colorado State Patrol BATTLE ATTF were picking up the silent LoJack signal coming from the stolen Tahoe with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTCs, the investigators tracked the Tahoe to the general area of 22nd and Lima in Aurora where the vehicle was found unoccupied.

After a period of covert surveillance to see if the suspects would return to the Tahoe, they did not; investigators recovered the vehicle for return to the very surprised and happy owners.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Chevrolet Tahoe in March 2008 at Burt Chevrolet in Englewood, Colorado.
