The owners of a 2005 Cadillac Escalade contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen from the garage of a casino in the 3300 block of Las Vegas Blvd.  The owners had parked it in the garage and left it secured.  When they returned they found it missing so they notified 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 Cadillac.

5 minutes later troopers from Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Cadillac 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 the intersection of Jones and Bromley where they found the Cadillac unoccupied.  The Cadillac was found unoccupied so it was recovered and towed for safekeeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Cadillac Escalade in June of 2006 at Costa Mesa GM, Costa Mesa, California.
