The owners of a used car dealership in South Salt Lake City contacted the police to report that one of their vehicles had been stolen. An officer verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Acura.

A short while later officers from the Salt Lake City Police Department, Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division and the Unified Police Department were picking upon the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Acura with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft. Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, an Investigator with the MVED tracked the Acura to an area near 4400 South and 1000 West in Taylorsville and recovered the now abandoned stolen Acura. It was released on-scene to the very grateful owners.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Acura TL in 2004 at the request of the car’s first owner at Cerritos Acura in California.
