The owner of a 2007 Toyota Camry 4-door sedan left their residence at approximately 7:00am. When they returned back to the residence at approximately 3:30pm, they discovered their Toyota gone. The owner contacted the Miami Gardens Police Department to report their vehicle stolen. 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® Stolen Vehicle Recovery System concealed in the Toyota to begin broadcasting its signal.

Later that evening, a Miami Gardens Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Camry on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC) near N.W. 37th Avenue and N.W. 199th Street. The PTC assists law enforcement officers to identify, track and locate stolen vehicles quickly and safely. The officer began tracking the stolen Toyota by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup, located the Toyota parked locked and unoccupied, backed into a driveway of an abandoned house in the 20000 block of N.W. 34th Court. The Toyota was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2007 Toyota Camry 4-door sedan in July 2006 at Lehman Toyota in Miami, Florida.
