On July 16, 2012, the owner of a 2005 Infiniti FX3 contacted the Philadelphia Police Department to report the vehicle stolen from the 800 block of Bridge Street in Philadelphia.  Philadelphia Police verified the theft and had the Infiniti’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police action automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle.

A short while later, officers with the Philadelphia Police Department’s 8th Police District picked up the silent LoJack homing signal from the stolen Infiniti on the LoJack Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers, the officers tracked the vehicle to the 8100 block of Frankford Avenue. There, the officers observed the legally parked vehicle. The officers cautiously approached the subject vehicle and determined that it was unoccupied; they quickly confiscated the vehicle for safekeeping and notified the owner of its safe recovery.    

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Infiniti FX3 in June of 2005 at Kelly Infinity of Danvers, Massachusetts.
