The owners of a 2011 Ford F150 contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the 6700 block of Browns Bay. The Ford had been parked and the keys left inside. When the owners returned they found the Ford missing.

A police officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Ford.

8 minutes later troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the troopers tracked the Ford to the 6400 block of Trautman, which was just a short distance from where it was stolen. The Ford was unoccupied and unharmed at the time of the recovery. The Ford was then recovered and returned back to the owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford F150 in January 2017 at Friendly Ford in Las Vegas, Nevada.
