The owner of a 2007 Chrysler 300 contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that his vehicle had been stolen from a service station in the 2800 block of Nellis.  The owner had gotten out of his vehicle, leaving it running with the door open, while putting air in the tires.  While filling the tires a male jumped into the Chrysler and drove off with it so the owner notified the police.

Las Vegas Metropolitan 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 Chrysler.

A short while later troopers from Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Chrysler 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 troopers tracked the vehicle to a residential address in the 4600 block of Providence where they located it unoccupied and unharmed.  The Chrysler was then recovered and towed for Safekeeping.  .

The LoJack® System was installed in the Chrysler 300 in June of 2009 at CarMax, Las Vegas, Nevada.
