On July 9, 2012, the owner of a 2007 Suzuki GSX-R600 motorcycle contacted the Seattle Police Department to report that the bike was stolen late the previous night from the owner’s apartment complex in the 2500 block of 3rd Avenue. Seattle Police verified the theft and entered the vehicle identification number into the state and federal crime computers. That process automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the Suzuki.

Less than thirty minutes later, officers with the Seattle Police Department received the silent LoJack homing signal transmitting from the stolen Suzuki on the Police Tracking Computer installed in their patrol cars.  Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computer, the officers quickly tracked the motorcycle to the 1700 block of 17th Avenue South, where they found it abandoned in good condition.   

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in this Suzuki motorcycle in July of 2008 when it was purchased new.
