LoJack Unmatched For Stolen Vehicle Recovery

After walking out of a movie in Yonkers, N.Y. on a recent Sunday evening, a surgeon realized that his 2006 Honda CBR 1000 motorcycle was stolen from the theater parking lot. Soon after contacting the Yonkers Police Department, the doctor's motorcycle was quickly recovered thanks to LoJack For Motorcycles.

LoJack's leadership in stolen vehicle recovery, based on its proven Radio Frequency technology and truly unique relationship with law enforcement, was illustrated by three recent recovery stories. Two motorcycles and one car were each stolen on four different occasions within the last year. Thanks to LoJack's Stolen Vehicle Recovery System, the vehicles were recovered in a timely manner with limited or no damage.

"These three stories involving multiple recoveries demonstrate why LoJack is the leader in recovering valuable mobile assets," said Ronald V. Waters, President and Chief Operating Officer, LoJack Corporation.

"Time after time, our System delivers on its promise of enabling law enforcement to find and recover stolen vehicles in a timely fashion. Our proven Radio Frequency technology and long-standing direct integration with the police are the backbones of our System and the key drivers of our 90 percent recovery rate."

Unlike GPS-based products, LoJack's Radio Frequency technology penetrates buildings, garages, dense foliage and containers. Another key LoJack differentiator is its Police Tracking Computers (PTCs), which are directly installed within patrol vehicles, helicopters and aircraft.

The PTCs receive signals from the activated LoJack transmitter, which communicates the vehicle's whereabouts directly to police, ultimately enabling law enforcement to find and recover the stolen asset.

NYC Surgeon's Motorcycle Stolen and Recovered Four Times in One Year
After walking out of a movie in Yonkers, N.Y. on a recent Sunday evening, a surgeon realized that his 2006 Honda CBR 1000 motorcycle was stolen from the theater parking lot. Soon after contacting the Yonkers Police Department, the doctor's motorcycle was quickly recovered thanks to LoJack For Motorcycles.

As a result of the timely recovery, his motorcycle was still fully assembled and only suffered minimal damage to the ignition lock.

"I have a lot more peace of mind knowing that my bike is constantly protected. Even my wife said, 'don't worry about it, LoJack will get it back for you like they always do.'" - NYC Surgeon

This was the fourth time the owner had his motorcycle stolen by thieves and recovered using LoJack For Motorcycles in the past year. He had two motorcycles stolen prior to the 2006 Honda CBR. Neither bike was outfitted with a stolen vehicle recovery system and neither was ever recovered.

Tucson Resident's Motorcycle Stolen and Recovered Four Times in Nine Months
A Tucson, Ariz. resident discovered his 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600 missing from his apartment parking lot in the middle of the night. He immediately contacted the police to report the stolen motorcycle, and the silent LoJack transponder concealed in his bike was automatically activated.

Just 14 minutes after it was reported stolen, a Tucson Police Department helicopter and a ground officer tracked the LoJack signal to another apartment complex in the area. There, they recovered the owner's Suzuki hidden in a pile of bushes. This was the fourth time since August 2007 that the owner's Suzuki was stolen by thieves and recovered by police using LoJack For Motorcycles.

Honda Civic Hybrid Stolen and Recovered Four Times in Six Months
A 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid equipped with LoJack was recently stolen in the San Francisco Bay Area. Two hours after the owner reported the stolen vehicle to the Oakland Police Department, law enforcement used LoJack's Police Tracking Computers to find and recover the Honda Civic. It was the fourth time the owner's vehicle had been stolen and recovered in the last six months.
