The
owners of a 2003 Honda Accord contacted the Boston Police Department to report
that their vehicle stolen. The Boston 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 Honda.
Five minutes later officers from the Quincy Police Department picked up the
silent LoJack signal from the stolen Honda with the LoJack Police Tracking
Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Two minutes later, troopers from the
Massachusetts State Police also picked up the signal and began to track the
stolen Honda.
Following
the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers from the Quincy
Police Department were able to locate and recover the Honda unoccupied on a
residential street in the North Quincy section of the city.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda Accord in August of 2003 at Bernardi
Honda located in Natick, MA.
