The owners of a 2016 Ford Fusion contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen from the garage of their residence in the 10100 block of Rice Paper.  The owners had left their residence for a time and when they returned they found that it had been burglarized and that their Ford was missing at which time 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 Ford.

Twenty two minutes later troopers from Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford 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 Bonanza and 30th where they found it parked and unoccupied. The Ford Fusion was recovered undamaged.  The Ford was then towed for processing and safekeeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford Fusion in February of 2016, at Friendly Ford, Las Vegas, Nevada.
