The owners of a 2014 Ford Escape contacted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to report that their vehicle had been stolen from in front of their residence in the 1200 block of Angel Forest.  The owners had parked the car and unintentionally left it unlocked with the keys inside.  When they returned to use the Ford they found it missing so they notified 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 Ford.

A short while later officers from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department picked up the silent LoJack signal from the stolen Ford 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 the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in the 800 block of Nellis.  The Ford was located unoccupied and was recovered and towed for safekeeping. 

The LoJack® System was installed in the Ford Escape in June of 2014 at Friendly Ford, Las Vegas, Nevada.
