Abstract
A computerized system deters theft of a vehicle where a subscriber maintains a remote computer terminal. A web host is connected to a wide area web network and includes a computer readable medium. A location unit is carried by the vehicle and calculates the location of the vehicle at any given time and transmits a low power digital location data packet having location data. A computer program has instructions embodied in computer readable code on the web host and receives a tracking request from a subscriber and transmits a tracking call to the location unit. The low power digital location data packet is transmitted from the location unit and represents the current position of the vehicle.
