The owner of a 2018 Honda Accord contacted the Hayward Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen.  The owner advised the vehicle was discovered missing from outside their apartment complex in the 2400 block of Oliver Drive.

The Hayward 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 2018 Honda Accord.

A short while later an officer with the Berkeley Police Department, was alerted to the stolen Honda Accord by means of the silent LoJack signal from the stolen vehicle. The stolen Honda was then tracked 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 officer tracked the stolen Honda Accord to a residential area and found it parked, unoccupied at the curb in the 1900 block of Ninth Street.

The stolen Honda Accord was recovered by the Berkeley Police Department, and the vehicle was released to the owner at the scene.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2018 Honda Accord in May of 2018, at Honda of Hayward, in Hayward, CA.
