ABSTRACT:
System and methods for identifying a lost or stolen device. In one aspect, a method includes: receiving a plurality of items on a platform configured to support the items for transportation, one or more of the items being registered in a database; interrogating via an interrogation signal transmitted from a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader to one or more RFID tags attached to one or more of the items while on the platform; and communicating with the database over an Internet to identify an item as being missing and associated with the platform, based on a result of interrorgating.
