On April 20, 2012, the owner of a 2006 Honda CBR600 motorcycle reported the bike stolen to the Dallas Police Department. The responding officer completed a stolen vehicle report and had the Honda’s information entered into the NCIC police computer. This routine police action automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle. Neither the owner nor law enforcement had to do anything else to activate the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery Network because LoJack’s interface with law enforcement is both seamless and instantaneous.
Less than three hours later, officers with the Richardson Police Department picked up the Honda’s silent LoJack homing signal on the LoJack Police Tracking Computer installed in their vehicle. This enabled them to track the stolen Honda to an apartment complex parking lot, where they found the motorcycle abandoned. The motorcycle was covered with a tarp, and the ignition was damaged. There are no suspects at this time, but this remains an ongoing investigation.
The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed at the owner’s request on May 24, 2006.
