1. A stolen vehicle tracking apparatus comprising:
- an on-vehicle transmitter transmitting given information to a base station in occurrence of an own vehicle being stolen;
a communication enable area discriminator discriminating to find whether communication is available between the own vehicle and the base station;
a controller controlling the on-vehicle transmitter so as to interrupt the given information from being transmitted when discriminated by the communication enable area discriminator that the own vehicle stands outside of a communication area; and
a speed detector detecting an own vehicle speed, wherein when discriminated that communication is made available between the own vehicle and the base station, the communication enable area discriminator alters a time interval, for which the given information is transmitted, in dependence on the own vehicle speed detected by the speed detector.

6. A stolen vehicle tracking apparatus comprising:
-
on-vehicle transmitting means for transmitting given information to a base station in occurrence of an own vehicle being stolen;
communication enable area discriminating and processing means for discriminating to find whether communication is available between the own vehicle and the base station;
control means controlling the on-vehicle transmitting means so as to interrupt the given information from being transmitted when discriminated by the communication enable area discriminating and processing means that the own vehicle stands outside of a communication area; and
speed detecting means for detecting an own vehicle speed, wherein when discriminated that communication is made available between the own vehicle and the base station, the communication enable area discriminating means alters a time interval, for which the given information is transmitted, in dependence on the own vehicle speed detected by the speed detecting means.

-
transmitting given information to a base station in occurrence of an own vehicle being stolen;
discriminating whether communication is available between an own vehicle and the base station;
interrupting the given information being transmitted when discriminated that the own vehicle stands outside of a communication area; and
