The owners of a 2014 Bobcat contacted the California Highway Patrol to report that their machine was stolen from a construction site in the city of Anaheim.  The CHP officers verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Bobcat.

A short while later officers from the Bell Police Department and Bell Gardens Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Bobcat with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, they tracked the machine to a business location in the 5000 block of Gage and located the stolen Bobcat sitting on the property of a closed business.  No suspects were found and the undamaged Bobcat was processed and released to the manager of the rental company.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Bobcat in June 2015 via Commercial Sales in Anaheim, California.
