Abstract
A system for determining if a vehicle has been stolen includes a communication module to receive data including a location of the vehicle and a manner in which the vehicle is being driven. A comparator module compares the received location data against a database of stored locations and compares the manner in which the vehicle is being driven with previously stored driving data indicating the manner in which the vehicle was historically driven and based on this to determine if the vehicle has been stolen. A notification module issues a notification in response to the comparator module determining that the vehicle has been stolen.
