The owners of a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen from the driveway of their residence in the 800 block of Apache.  The owners had parked the Chevrolet and left it unlocked with the keys in the ashtray.  They then went into their residence.  When they returned they found the Chevrolet missing so they contacted the police.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers which automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Chevrolet.

A short while later officers from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Chevrolet with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTC) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the vehicle to residential area in the 1300 block of Ringe.  The Chevrolet was unoccupied and unharmed.  The Chevrolet was then recovered and towed for safekeeping.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Chevrolet Silverado in February of 2001 at Vista Chevrolet, Las Vegas, Nevada.
