ABSTRACT:
The theft protection system includes a base unit which is sufficiently compact that it may be positioned in a pocket of a golf bag and sense unauthorized removal thereof by a thief. The base unit has a housing containing a tilt sensor which includes an electrically conducting ball positioned within a hemispherically split chamber which in response to tilt or other movement of the sensor (and golf bag) rolls into a position in which it allows current to flow through the sensor and into either just an alarm in a first embodiment or into both an alarm and a transmitter in a second embodiment. The transmitter emits a signal to a remote unit which is sufficiently compact that it may be carried by a user and which includes a receiver and an auditory or vibration alarm. The receiver activates the auditory or vibration alarm in response to receipt of the signal from the transmitter thereby alerting the user to theft or attempted theft of the golf bag.
