Abstract
Abstract A bold thief security system is provided that allows a user to remotely disable a vehicle that has been carjacked. Three methods are provided to contact a control unit mounted in the vehicle. One method uses a pager to send a code to the control unit. The second method uses a wrist watch with a built-in transmitter. The third method uses a conventional cellular telephone connected to the control unit so that a telephone can be used to disable the vehicle via a coded phone call. The bold thief security system helps the victim to quickly recover the stolen vehicle while not endangering his own security.
