Abstract

A pager vehicle theft prevention and recovery system including an electronic transceiver and associated global positioning system(GPS) discreetly situated within a vehicle and coupled to an associated alarm system. The transceiver is adapted to transmit a pager electronic alarm signal via free space upon the activation of the alarm system. The system further comprises a remotely positionable portable receiver such as a conventional pager for receiving the pager electronic alarm signal from the transceiver via free space and further providing an audible alarm to a user. Upon verification that the vehicle is indeed stolen, the user may instruct the transceiver to transmit a continuous pager signal containing longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates generated by the GPS. To activate the transceiver in such a mode, a recovery signal may be deployed from a conventional phone or in the alternative be transmitted directly from the remotely positionable portable receiver. The longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates allow the car to be traced and recovered.
