Stolen Vehicle:     Dump Truck

 Recovery:     Chicago, IL

 On    June 13, 2007

 Recovery Value     $892,000

 

On May 24, 2007 a company in Calumet, IL had a LoJack installed on their 2002 International Dump Truck. Just three weeks later, they reported the truck stolen to the Calumet City Police. The vehicle information was entered into "LEADS" which automatically activated the hidden LoJack. Shortly after activation the LoJack signal was picked up by a Chicago PD helicopter.

 

The helicopter circled the area and was able to pinpoint the location of the signal. The pilot notified the Cook County Sheriff's Department and the Illinois State Police. The Calumet City PD and the East Chicago Indiana PD were notified and responded to the area. A LoJack tracking unit pinpointed the location of the dump truck inside a very large fenced-in property. Officers entered the yard and recovered the truck. Numerous trucks and construction equipment which appeared to be in the process of being "chopped up" were also recovered at the scene.  

 

The officers contacted the Lake County Sheriff's Department for assistance because of the size of the apparent "chop shop". Auto theft investigators responded and for the next week inventoried the 30+ stolen pieces of equipment. This included semi-tractors, mini-excavators, skid steers, trailers, compressors, generators, welders and their cargo.  Some of the equipment had been stolen so recently, the owners didn’t even know that it was missing.  

 

The site was closed and declared a hazmat site, due to the amount of diesel fuel and other substances that had been dumped on the ground. Once the ground has been cleaned, the site investigation will continue.  Persons of interest have been identified and interviewed with the probability of many more finds and arrests.

 

The stolen dump truck was the only item at the site that was equipped with LoJack. Without the LoJack it is possible that this large chop shop may have gone unnoticed for a very long time!

 Recovery:     Piladelphia, PA

On    October 9, 2007

 

In August 2007, a Philadelphia rental company rented a 2007 Sullair Air Compressor to a customer who paid with a credit card.  The customer agreed to return the compressor in a few days.  A couple of months later the compressor had not been returned, phone calls went unanswered, the credit card was no longer active and the residence listed in the rental agreement was vacant.  At this time, the store manager reported the stolen compressor to the police and the compressor’s information was entered in the Philadelphia Crime Information Center computer, which automatically activated the hidden LoJack Unit.  

 

On Tuesday October 9th, Philadelphia Highway Patrol Officers were on patrol in the northwest section of Philadelphia when they received a LoJack signal.  They tracked the signal and observed several men standing around the compressor.  The officers stopped to investigate and confirmed that this was the stolen compressor.  A check of the men’s identities revealed that one of them was the renter and the man was placed under arrest.

FRANCE

It has been approximately 2 month since Monsieur R, a

 motorcycle enthusiast, had his Suzuki 750 GSXR stolen from

 where it was parked on a path outside his office in

 Courbevoie. The motorbike, which was not equipped with a

 TRAQUEUR, was never recovered. In early May 2007,

 Monsieur R decided to purchase a new Suzuki 1000 GSRX.

 He wanted to feel assured against any risk so had it equipped

 it with an alarm, TRAQUEUR and an anti-theft lock. In spite of

 all his precautions, his new motorcycle was stolen on the

 11th June between 9:30h and 10:30h from the same

 location outside his office.

He declared the theft to the police and informed TRAQUEUR

 that afternoon. The device was immediately activated and

 the signal indicated that the motorcycle was being

 transported in the direction of east Paris. At 21h that

 evening, the signal confirmed that the motorcycle was

 located in Montreuil.

A patrol from the National Police, backed up by a TRAQUEUR

 technician, arrived to the location of the stolen motorcycle

 and tracked the signal to an area where they recovered the

 bike which had been concealed in a cubicle at the bottom of

 a narrow, discrete passageway between two buildings.

 Upon opening the cubicle, not only did the police find the

 GSXR but also 10 more scooters, spare parts and registration

 plates.

An investigation is underway and a happy and relieved

 Monsieur R. was returned his motorcycle that very same day!

 

During the weekend of 5th May, a mechanical digger was

 stolen in the area of Ste Clair sur Epte. The foreman did not

 notice the theft until Monday 7th May when he went to use

 the digger.

At approx. 16h he reports the theft to the Gendarmerie

 Nationale. TRAQUEUR was advised of the theft and the unit

 was activated. A few days later, on the 10th May, the police

 forces recovered the stolen digger on another building site in

 Liancourt St Pierre. Along with the TRAQUEUR-equipped

 mechanical digger, the Gendarmes recovered another

 digger.

 

France

 

 At 5am on the morning of the 7th May, the owner of a

 Mercedes CLS woke up to the sound of his car’s engine

 being started. He immediately informed the Police Nationale

 and TRAQUEUR in order to activate the TRAQUEUR device.

 That same day at 15.30h the police forces recovered the

 Mercedes in Paris on the 16th district, parked on a public

 street. The vehicle was returned undamaged to it’s owner.

Italy

 

On Thursday July 26th 2007, at 09:36am LoJack Italia

 received notification from TRAQUEUR France that one one of

 TRAQUEUR’s customers had reported the theft of his bright

 orange Lamborghini Gallardo to both TRAQUEUR and the

 local police near Ancona on the eastern coast of Italy.

 The owner reported that thieves had broken into his house at

 dawn, used sleeping gas to knock-out the victim, and stole

 the keys to the Lamborghini which was parked nearby.

 LoJack Italia immediately activated it's network, and at

 9:10pm the reply code was picked up from an area around

 Ascoli Piceno, 122 KM south of Ancona.

 

 Local undercover units (judiciary police) from Ancona and

 Ascoli Piceno, whose vehicles were equipped with LoJack

 Vehicle Tracking Units, picked up the reply code at

 approximately 9:10pm. They tracked the LoJack signal to a

 warehouse in an industrial area.

 

 An overhead helicopter unit provided support but the thieves

 apparently spotted the helicopter and fled into the Apennine

 hills. The reply code was lost. The patrol vehicles continued

 to comb the area, but without success. At 12:47am the

 following morning, the vehicle was picked up by network

 infrastructure on the other side of the Apennines near Tivoli

 (east of Rome). At 1:15am, Lazio Polizia di Stato patrol

 vehicles intercepted the Lamborghini on the A1 highway

 from Rome to Naples, seized the vehicle and arrested the

 two thieves, who were of Albanian origin.

Italy

 

On the early morning of Friday 30th March 2007, at around

 4:30am Rome time, a Honda CBR600 motorcycle was stolen

 from the street in the EUR district south of Rome. Thieves

 stole the vehicle by cutting the iron stand to which it was

 bolted. The owner telephoned the police and an activation

 command was sent to all towers at 7:51am.

 

 The LoJack signal was intercepted in Milan around 1:00am

 early that Saturday morning. The Private Security

 (MondialPol), which assists in tracking stolen vehicles north

 of Italy, immediately responded in order to track the vehicle.

 They picked up the reply code and homed in on a suburb of

 Milan called Cologno Monzese.

 At around 7:40am, after calling in the Carabinieri, they

 tracked the location of the stolen motorcycle, only 14 hours

 or so after the theft.

 

 Authorities later raided the location as well as two annexed

 garages and recovered the stolen LoJack-equipped

 motorcycle. Authorities also identified at least two additional

 stolen motorcycles that had been partially or fully

 dismantled. Two suspects were taken in for questioning, and

 one was subsequently charged.

 

 Recently, LoJack Italia installed just a handful of LoJack Units

 in motorcycles to test to see how the system would operate

 in motorbikes. This recovery clearly demonstrates the

 effectiveness of the LoJack system when installed in a

 motorcycle. “I felt very privileged to have my motorcycle

 equipped with LoJack as a test, it’s an extremely efficient

 recovery system,” the owner commented to LoJack.

Poland

 

Jarek equipped his Honda Accord with LoJack Alarm system,

 which notifies its owner of any unauthorized movement of a

 car via SMS. In the evening of Wednesday the 10th January,

 Jarek was enjoying a European tour. He had left his Honda

 parked in a secure car park in Warsaw. When his car was

 stolen, LoJack unit detected unauthorized movement and a

 notification was sent to Jarek. After Jarek reported his car

 stolen, the track began. His Honda Accord was found in a

 garage, prepared for “chopping”. Fortunately this week was

 still a time for “cooling down” so the car was recovered with

 very little damage.

Stolen:     Caterpillar Ashpalt Roller and Trailer

 Reported stolen on:    September 25, 2007

 Recovery:     California

 Recovery Value     $200,000+

A 1997 Caterpillar Asphalt Roller and trailer were stolen from a construction site in southwest Fresno county. The theft was reported to the Fresno County Sheriff's Department on September 25, 2007. The equipment information was entered into National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database which automatically activated the LoJack Unit hidden on the roller.

Approximately five hours later the flight crew of a California Highway Patrol airplane based in Fresno began receiving the silent LoJack signal from the stolen roller. The signal was tracked to a residence in Raisin City. Ground units responded and secured the scene. A short time later, a male adult arrived at the residence and was detained.

An investigation was conducted by the Fresno County Agriculture Theft Task Force. The roller and trailer were recovered intact. Investigators also identified and recovered additional stolen equipment including a Bobcat, three John Deere Tractors, a Yamaha ATV, an Airman Compressor and two farm implement trailers.

The suspect was arrested and admitted to the theft of the stolen equipment. He had removed the identification numbers and intended to sell the equipment for a profit.
