The owner of a 2010 Acura ZDX contacted the Chicago Police Department to report that his vehicle was stolen from in front of his residence on the 500 block of North Laramie Ave in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. The Chicago 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 Acura.

A few hours of the Acura being reported as stolen officers from the Chicago PD’s Fillmore district picked up the audible and directional cues being broadcast 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 the Chicago PD tracked the stolen Acura to the 900 block of North Western Avenue in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood where it was recovered unoccupied. The Acura was recovered undamaged before it could be stripped, cloned, re-tagged or used in a crime and returned to a grateful owner.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Acura ZDX in April 2010 at Acura of Thousand Oaks in California.
