This Dodge Caliber was stolen sometime during the daytime hours from the 300 block of “T” Street SE in Auburn. Keys were inadvertently left in the Dodge. When the theft was discovered, it was reported to the Auburn Police Department who verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Dodge.

Just twenty minutes after the LoJack was activated, a Washington State Patrol trooper equipped with a LoJack Police Tracking Computer (PTC) picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Dodge. Following directional and audible cues from the PTC, the Dodge was located four minutes later at a motel parking lot located on 16th Street NW in Auburn. Surveillance was set up for several hours but nobody returned to the Dodge.

The Dodge did not appear to be damaged and was impounded to be processed for fingerprint evidence.
The LoJack® System was installed in the Dodge Caliber in October 2007 at Gillis Auto Center in Shelton, Washington.
