The owner of a 2016 Lincoln MKZ contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that his vehicle had been stolen from the parking lot of his work located in the 10000 block of Flamingo Road.  The owner had left the Lincoln locked in the parking lot but had left the keys inside.  When the owner returned to leave for the day he found the Lincoln missing so he 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 Lincoln.

A short while later troopers from Nevada Highway Patrol picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Lincoln 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 near the intersection of Campinella and Doggit.  The Lincoln was unoccupied and undamaged.  The Lincoln was recovered and towed for safekeeping. 

The LoJack® System was installed in the Lincoln MKZ in November 2015 at Alvarez Lincoln, Riverside, California.
