Abstract

Apparatus for reporting stealing of automobiles includes a no-move detecting means, a transfer detecting sensor and a radio transmitter. The no-move setting means establishes no-move of an automobile. A transfer detecting sensor detects shift of a position of the automobile after the no-move setting. A radio transmitter reports an occurrence of stealing to a designated place when the transfer detecting sensor detects the shift of the position of the automobile. On an occurrence of stealing, this apparatus automatically reports the fact to the designated place.
