The owner of a 2004 Cadillac Escalade SUV walked outside of his home to find that his vehicle was missing.  The owner contacted the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office Department to report that the 2004 Cadillac SUV was 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, which automatically activated the LoJack® System transponder concealed in the skid steer.  Police patrol vehicles, helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft equipped with Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) began to search for stolen vehicle.

When the silent LoJack® registered an activation alert off of the LoJack® tower in Stuart, Florida a large scale search was conducted.  The silent LoJack® signals directed law enforcement to a residence in Stuart, Florida where the vehicle was located, parked in the driveway.  A surveillance was established with plainclothes units.  When the vehicle became occupied the Law Enforcement Officers stopped the vehicle and two suspects were detained.  The Cadillac SUV was recovered and the investigation continues.

The LoJack® System was installed in the 2004 Cadillac SUV in Ed Morse Chevrolet in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
