LoJack Helps Southern California Police Recover $60K Classic Chevy Impala
- February 14, 2012
LoJack Corporation, the company that invented the stolen vehicle recovery market, today announced that Southern California law enforcement recovered a 1961 Chevrolet Impala that was stolen from its owner on Tuesday, February 7, 2012.
After the $60,000 Chevy Impala was reported stolen, law enforcement entered the vehicle’s information into the National Crime Information Center computers, which automatically activated the LoJack transponder covertly installed in the vehicle. Just 19 minutes after the vehicle was reported stolen, deputies picked up a LoJack signal with their Police Tracking Computers. They tracked the signal to a private residence in Palmdale. Detectives obtained permission from the owner of the house to check the garage for the stolen vehicle. Not only did the detectives find and recover the Chevrolet Impala, they also recovered stolen computers, mail and credit cards. One suspect was taken into custody and the investigation is ongoing.

This covert system can be hidden in one of a variety of locations, which can be specified by the vehicle owner.
An Early Warning notification feature is also available through LoJack for Classics. The feature offers advanced theft protection by contacting classic car and specialty vehicle owners regardless of where they are in up to five different ways – via home phone, work phone, cell phone, e-mail and text message – if their vehicle is moved without permission. Early Warning can significantly reduce the time between theft discovery and vehicle recovery.
