On December 28, 2012, the owner of a 2012 Kawasaki ZX600 motorcycle received an Early Warning alert from LoJack, notifying him that his vehicle had been moved without his consent. The owner immediately checked on his motorcycle and after discovering it missing, he contacted the San Antonio Police Department to report that his motorcycle had just been stolen from his assigned parking spot at the apartment complex where he lives.
San Antonio Police verified the theft and entered the Kawasaki’s information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the motorcycle.
A short while later, officers from the San Antonio Police Department picked up the silent LoJack homing signals from the stolen Kawasaki motorcycle on the Police Tracking Computers installed in their patrol vehicles. Following the directional and audible cues from the LoJack computers, the officers tracked the motorcycle to a large apartment complex parking lot. There, they located the motorcycle, legally parked and abandoned. It appeared that the motorcycle had been used for joyriding and then abandoned.
The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the Kawasaki ZX600 motorcycle in June of 2012 at Alamo Cycle Plex 2 in San Antonio, Texas.
