The owner of a 2017 Honda Accord contacted the Miami Gardens 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 Honda.

Later that morning, while in route to work, a Miami Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Accord on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC), that are installed in law enforcement patrol vehicles, helicopters and aircraft. The officer began tracking the stolen Honda by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC’s screen. The officer, along with their backup from the Miami Gardens PD, located the 4-door sedan abandoned in the 600 block of NW 177th Street. The Honda 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 2017 Honda Accord in June 2017 at Ed Morse Honda North in Riviera Beach, Florida.
