Abstract: A system and method for identifying, tracking and locating stolen bicycles (missing chattels) in an urban area from a plurality of stations. A passive RFID memory based transponder is manufactured into the hollow metal frame of a bicycle (missing chattel) during manufacture. The passive memory based transponder is engaged and powered up by a tag initiation process which emanates from a cellular telephone tower using microwave frequencies. This process is initiated upon a report of the bicycle (missing chattel) being stolen. It is then powered from an internal generator driven by the rotation of the axle of the bicycle, or similar conveyance, with chargeable battery assist. Missing chattel is defined herein as a bicycle, motorcycle, car, truck, bus, tractor trailer or other similar conveyance.

Abstract: This invention assigns differing chose in action categories, such as banknote, check and stock certificate. Each category reflects electro magnetic signals through a nano size silicon integrated circuit package known as an RFID transponder. As an example, a unique identifier number, serial number, denomination amount, will be written onto each RFID transponder. A specific frequency can be assigned to each category. Each category is divided by at least 2 MHz with all transmissions taking place within the 24 to 40 GHz frequency range. The chose in action can be interrogated at specially shielded stations, such as cash registers or bank teller windows or at stock brokerage firms, to verify the authenticity of the chose in action. The interrogators will be connected to a centralized host system comprised of computer server and middleware to trace and track the progress of the chose in action through the economy in real time.
