The owner of a 2008 Chevrolet Impala 4-door sedan, which was apparently a used car dealership, discovered their car missing. They contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s Office to report their vehicle stolen. The responding deputy prepared a stolen vehicle report, theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime information computers.

The next morning, while on routine patrol, a Davie Police Department officer picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Impala on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC). The officer began tracking the stolen vehicle by following the directional and audible cues on the PTC screen. The officer, along with their backup from an Auto Theft Task Force investigator, located the 4-door sedan abandoned in a parking space in an apartment complex near SW 61st Avenue and SW 41st Place. The Chevrolet was recovered, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from state and federal crime information computer systems.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2008 Chevrolet Impala in July 2008 at Ed Morse Chevrolet in Sawgrass, Florida.
