@bjb@lauren I saw a story the other day about people paying a mechanic to disable the GPS and cellular modems in their car. I guess that's what it's come to. I bought a car a year ago and the dealer put a GPS tracker in it. They didn't ask if they could or tell me about it. I figured it out later. Turns out that's common practice.
@bjb@lauren I think they do it for asset tracking. But it was a cash sale so they had no legitimate reason to do it. I suspect they installed it when they were "detailing" the car right before they handed it over.
