set a single area including positions of the plurality of power generators as a movable area based on the position information; make a predetermined notification if at least one of the plurality of power generators has moved out of the movable area; and register, if a certain power generator is set in an operation state, the power generator and another power generator located within a first distance from the power generator as the plurality of power generators. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The antitheft device according to claim 1, wherein user information is set in advance in the plurality of power generators, and the certain power generator and another power generator in which the same user information as that of the power generator is set, are registered as the plurality of power generators. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The antitheft device according to claim 1, wherein the movable area is set to envelop a plurality of areas within a second distance smaller than the first distance from the positions of the plurality of power generators. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The antitheft device according to claim 1, wherein if the at least one power generator has moved out of the movable area, a control signal for causing the at least one power generator to generate a warning sound is output to the at least one power generator. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The antitheft device according to claim 1, wherein if the at least one power generator has moved out of the movable area, a control signal for restricting an operation of the at least one power generator is output to the at least one Power generator. ### Claim 6 An antitheft device for a power generator electrically connectable to a work machine, comprising at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the at least one processor circuit to at least: acquire position information from each of a plurality of power generators; set a single area including positions of the plurality of power generators as a movable area based on the position information; make a predetermined notification if at least one of the plurality of power generators has moved out of the movable area; and register, if a certain power generator is connected to the work machine, the power generator, and another power generator located within a first distance from the power generator and/or the work machine as the plurality of power generators. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The antitheft device according to claim 6, wherein the plurality of power generators are registered when the work machine connected to the certain power generator changes to an operation state. ### Claim 8 A power generator antitheft system comprising a plurality of power generators electrically connectable to a work machine, and an antitheft device configured to be communicable with each power generator, wherein the antitheft device comprises at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the at least one processor circuit to at least: acquire position information from each of the plurality of power generators; set a single area including positions of the plurality of power generators as a movable area based on the position informations; make a predetermined notification if at least one of the plurality of power generators has moved out of the movable area; and resister, if a certain power generator is set in an operation state, and/or if a certain power generator is connected to the work machine, the power generator and another power generator located within a first distance from the power generator as the plurality of power generators.
