A system receives vehicle state data reported over a connection established with a vehicle and determines a loss of connection with the vehicle. Responsive to the loss of connection, the system performs an analysis of a plurality of predefined causes of incidental connection loss, based on vehicle state data previously reported compared to predefined values indicative of causing a lost connection. Responsive to the analysis indicating no predefined cause of incidental connection loss being present, the system triggers a vehicle alarm state protocol.
