Abstract: A person-portable object tracking system for identifying a location of a tracked person-portable object such as a security tracking bag, money pack or other container by a location identifier powered by a portable power source, the location transmitted to a central processor by a communicator. The location identifier preferably uses the global positioning satellite system or a radio frequency identification tag. An event detector sends a signal by way of the communicator to the central processor, the signal indicating the occurrence of a predetermined event such as a change from darkness to light, movement of a handle or the like and/or opening of an enclosure, cutting, motion and/or exceeding a distance from a desired location. Using plural event detectors in logical AND combination prevents unwanted event indications. The central processor archives a history of locations of the tracked person-portable object.
