Abstract
A method for locating a mobile device which is not in possession of the owner using an owner verification server. A mobile network operator server sends a message to the owner verification server requesting verification of ownership. The owner verification server retrieves ownership status and transmits a request to the mobile network operator server to transmit location tracking data when the ownership status indicates that the device is not in the owner's possession. The owner verification server forwards the location tracking data to the device owner.
