The owner of a 2013 Honda Accord contacted the Placer County Sheriff’s Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen.  The owner advised the vehicle was taken from the parking lot of a casino in Lincoln, CA.

The Placer County Sheriff’s 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 2013 Honda Accord.

A short time later, an officer from the Pittsburg Police Department was alerted to the stolen Honda Accord by means of the silent LoJack signal from the stolen vehicle 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 and it was found parked, unoccupied, at Bliss Avenue and Railroad Avenue.

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

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2013 Honda Accord in February of 2017, at Honda of El Cerrito, in El Cerrito, CA
