The owners of a 2008 Scion XB discovered that their car was stolen from their home in Oakland.

Oakland Police verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Scion.

Later that morning, after the automatic activation of the LoJack System in the stolen Scion, Oakland PD officers picked up the silent signals from the LoJack System installed on the stolen Scion on the LoJack Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers, the officers tracked the stolen vehicle to a side street several miles from where it was stolen in Oakland.  The owners of the stolen Scion were contacted to claim their undamaged stolen vehicle.

LoJack® System was installed in the 2008 Scion XB on 10/15/2011 in Oakland, CA.
