This case involves a Mercedes Benz E320 in Coconut Creek, FL, that was recovered the same day it went missing. On November 9th, 2013, the owner of the Mercedes contacted the Coconut Creek Police Department to report their vehicle stolen. The responding officer prepared a stolen vehicle report and theft affidavit and had the vehicle’s information entered into the state and federal crime computers. This routine police procedure automatically activated the LoJack unit concealed in the E320, which was installed at Autohaus Mercedes Benz in Pompano Beach, FL.

A short while later, Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputies picked up the homing signal from the stolen car on the LoJack tracking computers installed in their patrol vehicles.  The deputies located the vehicle in the yard of a Lauderdale Lakes towing company, where it had been towed after being found parked illegally. The E320 was released to its relieved owner after the towing bill was paid.
