Vehicle Recovery Narrative

Opportunity knocks when a key fob gets left behind. A thief didn’t waste it. The call to MPD was quick; the VIN went into the system. Because the Macan carried LoJack, I enabled live tracking for responding officers through LoJack LE.

The trail was digital, not dramatic. The signal led into a shadowed alley behind a vacant house. The Porsche was there—untouched, hidden, and still in one piece. The owner got back a dream car before it turned into a costly nightmare.

Human error happens. Real‑time tech can erase it.

Tactical Takeaways for LE Partners

• Pre‑installed LoJack enabled immediate live tracking after the theft report.
• MPD located the SUV behind a vacant house and recovered it without damage.
• Quick reporting and LoJack LE prevented further criminal use or stripping of the vehicle.
