The
renter of a 2017 Kubota skid steer contacted the Dallas Police Department to
report that the skid steer had been stolen. The renter left the skid steer
overnight at a job site and when they returned they found it missing. The Dallas 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 Kubota.
A short while later officers from the Dallas Police Department picked up the
silent LoJack signal from the stolen Kubota 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 officers tracked the stolen Kubota to the 2200 block of
E Ledbetter, where they found it abandoned behind a grocery store. The Kubota was recovered in good
condition.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Kubota skid steer in February 2018.
