  • Patent number: 11945404
    Abstract: The present specification relates to systems and methods capable of detecting and tracking a perpetrator of the vehicle break-in. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of tracking a perpetrator of a break-in in a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes detecting, using one or more sensors, that the vehicle has been broken in and monitoring the perpetrator during the break-in using in-vehicle data from the one or more sensors. The method further includes receiving the crowdsourced data on the perpetrator and combining the in-vehicle data and the crowdsourced data to form an integrated data set. Finally, the method tracks the perpetrator using the integrated data set.
