The LoJack® system that was installed when the car was purchased proved its value by helping local police recover the vehicle quickly and safely.
On January 6th, 2014, the Honda’s owners contacted the Hialeah 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 transponder concealed in the CR-V, which was installed at Maroone Honda of Hollywood, FL.
A short while later, a Miami PD officer picked up the homing signal from the stolen SUV on the LoJack tracking computer installed in his patrol vehicle. The officer located the vehicle parked and abandoned on N.W. 18th Avenue. The CR-V was retrieved and soon returned to its happy owners.
