- recovery stories
The owners of a Honda CR-V parked their SUV in a municipal parking lot in Miami, FL, on a recent Sunday. When they returned the following Tuesday, their vehicle was missing. A same day recovery was performed by local law enforcement, with help from the LoJack® system that was installed when the CR-V was purchased.
On May 27th, 2014, the Honda’s owner contacted the Miami Beach Police Department to report the incident. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report and theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically activated the LoJack unit concealed in the CR-V, which was installed at Maroone Honda of Hollywood, FL.
Within minutes of activation, a Miami PD officer picked up the silent homing signal from the stolen SUV on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The Honda was located, parked and abandoned, on S.W. 3rd Street. After a brief surveillance, the CR-V was retrieved and soon returned to its thankful owners.
