LoJack reports 2005’s top vehicle recovery stories
LoJack’s precision ‘last mile’ tracking that leads police directly to stolen vehicles was instrumental in the successful arrest of a number of criminals last year. (1/23/2006)
LoJack’s top vehicle recovery stories of 2005 were:
* Most Dramatic Recovery: Phoenix police used the LoJack System to track down, in less than one hour, a car owner who was kidnapped and being held for ransom by three armed suspects. The suspects were taken into custody. The victim - and his car - returned home safely.
* Best Motorcycle Chop Shop Recovery: Police in Los Angeles used the LoJack System to recover a stolen motorcycle and discovered a large motorcycle theft ring involving stolen parts from more than 25 bikes.
* Most Valuable Recovery: Police in New Jersey tracked and recovered a stolen Ingersoll Rand Loader via the LoJack System. Police not only found the loader, but also a number of other pieces of construction equipment, including multiple trailers and a compressor – together valued at more than $500,000.
* Best Recovery that Gets the Bad Guys: Police in Southern California used the LoJack System to track a stolen Suburban to a residence where they discovered several known gang members involved with stealing that vehicle and many others. The vehicle was returned intact and the police arrested multiple gang members.
* Best Recovery Involving Related Crimes: When police in California tracked and recovered a LoJack-equipped Ford Mustang, they also discovered ten other stolen vehicles, illegal guns and ammunition, as well as narcotics.
* Best Recovery Involving the ‘Duh’ Factor: Police in New York tracked and recovered a car that was stolen by the owner’s ex-boyfriend for the THIRD time in a year. Each and every time, the LoJack System led police directly to the vehicle. The ex-boyfriend was arrested for the third time.
