The owner of a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado contacted the Baltimore City Police Department to report that their vehicle was stolen from the area of 3900 Chesterfield Avenue in the Herring Run area of Baltimore City, Maryland. Baltimore City Police Radio dispatched an officer from the 4th District to investigate the incident. The officer quickly arrived on location, interviewed the complainant and surveyed the area for the subject vehicle. When the officer was unable to locate the vehicle, a stolen vehicle report was completed. The officer then arranged for the stolen vehicle information to be entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado.

After a short period of time, officers from the Baltimore City Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 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 vehicle to 4400 Wrenwood Road in the Wilson Park area of Baltimore City, Maryland. At this location, officers observed the vehicle parked and unoccupied. Officers recovered the undamaged stolen vehicle and notified the owner.

Approximate value of vehicle: $5,300.00

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado in December, 2001 at Auto Nation Security Blvd in Woodlawn, Maryland.
