The owner of a 2010 Toyota Camry contacted the Jersey City Police Department to report their vehicle had been stolen from the parking lot of their apartment complex in Jersey City while they were away on vacation.

The Jersey City 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 Toyota Camry.

A short while later, officers from the Rutgers University Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal coming from the stolen Toyota with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the Toyota to the sixth floor of a parking garage at the University Hospital in the City of Newark. The Toyota was recovered parked and undamaged.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2010 Toyota Camry in November 2009 by Hudson Toyota in Jersey City, New Jersey.
