Abstract
A theft detecting device has a position data-obtaining and communication arrangements which are energized after it is determined that “the automobile is stolen and is now in a stationary state” based on the signals from a state detecting means and time counter means. The communication arrangement transmits a theft notice data inclusive of the obtained position data to the owner and the like that are remote from the automobile or the like which has been stolen. After the data have been transmitted, the power source of the position data-obtaining means is again turned off to conserve battery power.
