The owners of a 2007 BMW 328 contacted the Lyndhurst Police Department to report that their vehicle that they had advertised for sale was taken from their home in Lyndhurst by a woman that wanted to test drive the vehicle and then never returned.

The Lyndhurst PD verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the BMW.

A short while later Officers from the Essex County Sheriff’s Department picked up the silent LoJack signal coming from the stolen BMW with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC’s) that are installed in their patrol vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC the Officers tracked the BMW to 6th Ave. in the City of Newark, where the vehicle was being operated by the woman that took the BMW for the test drive. The BMW was recovered undamaged and the woman was arrested.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2007 BMW 328 in June 2007 by Inskip BMW-UAG in Warwick, RI.
