The owner of a 2007 Honda Accord contacted the Richmond Police Department to report that her vehicle had been stolen. The owner advised she had inadvertently left her keys in the lock of the front door of her residence. When she realized what had occurred, she found her keys were gone and her vehicle was missing from the driveway.
The Richmond 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 2007 Honda Accord.
A short while later a deputy with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department AC Transit Unit, was working in the city of Oakland, when he 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 stolen vehicle was tracked to a residential area and was found parked unoccupied at the curb on Lancaster Street near East 7th Street.
The stolen Honda Accord was recovered by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department, and the owner responded to the scene to retrieve her vehicle. The owner advised she was unaware her vehicle had been equipped with the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System by a previous owner and she was very happy to have the vehicle recovered so quickly, as she in the process of shopping for a new vehicle and intended on trading this vehicle in. The owner advised she will definitely plan on equipping her new vehicle with LoJack.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2007 Honda Accord in July of 2007, at Auto West Honda, in Roseville, CA.
