1. A method of enabling the location and tracking of items comprising:
- receiving an identification signal transmitted by a transponder, wherein the identification signal is associated with an item;
determining the identification signal transmitted by the transponder is unregistered;
extracting, by a processing device, properties of the item associated with the unregistered identification signal transmitted by the transponder, wherein the transponder is previously programmed with the properties of the item; and
transmitting, to a database, the extracted properties of the item associated with the unregistered identification signal transmitted by the transponder.
