Stolen Twice in One Week — Beloved Mustang Recovered Both Times in Seattle

Case at a Glance:

Vehicle: 2006 Ford Mustang

Activation: Seattle PoliceDepartment, Seattle, Washington

Recovery: Seattle PoliceDepartment, Seattle, Washington

Dealership: Chevrolet of Everett

Seattle, WA — A Ford Mustang stolen twice in the same week was recovered both times thanks to its LoJack® stolen vehicle recovery system and the swift response of the Seattle Police Department.

The Mustang came equipped with a dealership‑installed LoJack GPS system—an advantage that proved invaluable. Each time the owner discovered the vehicle missing, he immediately contacted the LoJack 24‑hour Stolen Vehicle Recovery Hotline and notified Seattle PD.

In both incidents, the vehicle was quickly entered into the LoJack Law Enforcement (LE) App, a real‑time tracking platform built specifically for law enforcement. Once activated, officers could monitor the Mustang’s movements and respond without delay.

The system worked flawlessly. On both occasions, Seattle PD officers located the stolen Mustang parked in nearby lots. Each recovery was completed quickly, safely, and—remarkably—without any damage to the vehicle.

“This case highlights how powerful stolen vehicle recovery technology can be when paired with fast reporting and strong law enforcement partnerships,” said a spokesperson familiar with the recovery. “Because the owner acted quickly and the vehicle was equipped with LoJack, officers were able to locate and recover it before any damage occurred or the vehicle could be used in other crimes.”

Vehicle theft continues to affect communities across the country, but this case demonstrates how technology, rapid reporting, and coordinated police response can turn a frustrating week into a successful outcome.

For this Seattle Mustang owner, both thefts ended the same way—with the vehicle safely back where it belongs, thanks to LoJack and the dedication of Seattle PD.
