An employee of a construction company arrived at his office and discovered that the premises had been burglarized and that two of their Kenworth dump trucks had been stolen. One of them was a 2007 Kenworth T800 dump truck. They contacted the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office to report their vehicle stolen from their storage facility. The Osceola County SO verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Kenworth.

Later that morning, a Collier County Sheriff’s Office deputy and a member of the Auto Theft Task Force picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Kenworth dump truck on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The deputy and ATTF member began tracking the stolen Kenworth by following the directional and audible cues on their PTC screen. They converged on a house near 41st Street, S.W and 23rd Avenue, S.W. The Collier County SO auto theft unit responded and interviewed the residents of the house and others in the area to no avail. The dump truck 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 Kenworth T800 dump truck in May 2006 at Kenworth of Central Florida in Orlando.
