On Tuesday afternoon, June 26, 2012, the owner of a 2005 Dodge Durango SUV contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s Office to report their vehicle stolen that afternoon from the parking lot where he worked. Broward County deputies verified the theft and had the Dodge’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle.

Later that afternoon, a Miami-Dade Police Department officer picked up the Dodge’s silent LoJack homing signal on their on-board LoJack Police Tracking computer (PTC). Following the directional and audible cues on their PTCs screen, the officer, along with backup, located the vehicle backed into a parking space at a convenience store in the 9700 block of N.W. 27th Avenue in Miami, Florida. The vehicle was recovered with only ignition damage, towed to the police impound yard for safekeeping, and removed from federal and state crime computer systems.

The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Dodge Durango SUV on March 1, 2005 by Maroone Dodge of Pembroke Pines, and has been protecting it ever since.
