Abstract

A method of tracking stolen property uses a continously powered radio receiver for receiving encoded signals from a central station. When the received signal corresponds to a unique code stored at the receiver, a GPS receiver and a radio transmitter located with the stolen property are connected for a predetermined period of time to a source of power so that a GPS signal received by the receiver is processed and the position data produced thereby is transmitted to the central station.
