I am unsure if the gps alone is sufficient. Actually you need to have a way of wirelessly transmitting the coordinate information from the attached gps receiver inorder for it to be useful as an antitheft device. Again the limitation in the area of coverage is due to the wireless signal that you could track. Normally the gps anti theft devices have a service fee for the wireless service provided to track the location of the equipment. I am not sure if such a service is available in your area. The other alternative(and a low cost one) is to go with conventional rf beacon transmitters(used to track the trajectory and to recover model rockets) and a good mobile direction finding antenna/receiver. To deter theft, you could also attach wirelessly activated motion/vibration alarms that when activated will produce a loud noise and scare away the thief. These are just few of the suggestions that I came up with. If you are more specific of the requirements and the situations you want to address, a better system could be devised. |

A GPS reciever must have a clear view of the sky in order for it to determine its location. Because of this, GPS theft tracking is really only practical for vehicles. You probably want some sort of radio tracking or deterrent device as mentioned above. |
