A network based method and system (apparatus) for locating remote objects which have become lost, misplaced or stolen. An iPhone-like “application” interrogates a low duty cycle locator device with a transceiver and GPS chip. The user is alerted via phone message (call and/or text). The locator device is interrogated via a telephony capable computer server. The user checks on a website to view a map with the coordinates of the missing object displayed. An automatic computer-based method of interrogating the locator allows for extremely small duty cycles (milliseconds) while a missing location may become available every minute, five minutes, or ten minutes, for example.
