REPORTING STOLEN ITEMS with the app In case of theft the user can report it through the app to the Operation Centre.

LOCATING STOLEN ITEMS with the app If the stolen tag is in the list, a short message appears about sending a tag sighting report to the Operation Centre in 10 second intervals. In case a theft is reported by the Operation Centre, the app scans for active Bluetooth tags nearby and shows the discovered ones in a list.
