When the owner of a Toyota Tacoma pickup discovered the vehicle had been stolen, a report was filed with the Tulsa Police Department. A description of the vehicle and vehicle identification number (VIN) were entered into the NCIC police computer.  This routine police action automatically activated the LoJack transponder concealed in the vehicle. Neither the owner nor law enforcement had to do anything else to activate the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery Network because LoJack’s interface with law enforcement is both seamless and instantaneous.

Shortly after the LoJack was activated, a deputy with the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Department began receiving the silent homing signal being broadcast from the stolen Toyota. After obtaining a complete description of the vehicle, the deputy alerted other deputies of his location. After being joined by second deputy both began tracking the signal by using the onboard LoJack Tracking Computers (PTC), installed in their patrol cars.  Using the computer’s signal strength and directional arrows the deputies were able to track the signal to a remote area near 27300 and E. 101 St. So in Wagoner County. The signal was narrowed down to a large metal building on the property.  Consent to search was granted by the property owner.  The LoJack hand held tracker (HHT) was deployed and deputies quickly located the stolen pickup in the metal building.   The recovered vehicle was processed for evidence and stored until the owner could be located and the vehicle returned.

The LoJack installed in the vehicle 10/8/2004 in Carlsbad, CA.
