The owner of a 2006 Scion Xb 4-door sedan contacted the Fort Lauderdale Police Department to report their vehicle stolen from their home. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically transmits an activation command to the LoJack® System concealed in the Scion to begin broadcasting its signal.
Later in the morning, a Miami-Dade Police Department auto theft detective picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Scion Xb on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The PTC enables law enforcement officers to track, locate and recover stolen vehicles quickly and safely. The auto theft detective began tracking the stolen Scion by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The auto theft detective, along with their backup, located the Scion inside of a fence compound. It was then discovered that the premises was the storage facility for a “repo” company. The Scion was recovered, released to the “repo” company, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.
The LoJack® System was installed in the 2006 Scion Xb 4-door sedan in October 2008 at Norwalk Toyota in California.
