Abstract
A tracking and monitoring system is disclosed herein having a stationary alert or alarm transmitter selectively and manually operated to generate an alert signal receivable by a remote monitoring receiver in a mobile vehicle. The monitoring receiver receives the alert signal and a track signal separately or simultaneously. The track signal is transmitted by a track transmitter hidden in property being stolen. Once alerted and on-track with the monitoring receiver, the mobile vehicle maintains vigil on the stolen property and closes range until apprehension can be safely arranged and performed.
