Default Trackers

Is there a tracker available that you can just track from say google maps or such like, don't mean the actual tracker system , seen how they work after watching road wars and it is quite a vague system where the police only know the area the car is in, someone much of developed a tracker and a phones app where you know exactly where the transmitter is? Car crime is rife up here this now, mostly new audis and BMW's ect but I'd love one for piece of mind

There is lots of cheap ones you can buy and install your self which is basically just a sim card that sends your location to your mobile.
They will do as good a job if not better than the tracker ones.
But most of they thiefs these days probably have a blocker

Oh , so they just block it , awesome , my brother suggested a pneumatic spike under the seat that if it's not unarmed upon entering the car it'll pop up through the seat and give the thief a new arse hole , joking of course but I honestly can't stand the thought of someone stealing my car , the little fucks are at it up here , R35 gtr was stolen recently as well as a Ferrari 599 , not to order , just joyriders

Yeah i mind the post one here about the little scrotum's on face book showing off.
I presume it's the same little runts?
Yeah i have saw blockers on line they just plug in to the cigarette lighter.Suppose you could cut wires to that bit where do you stop?
Still be worth fitting though as an extra precaution.

For 20quid might be worth a go?
Only thing is would be trying to wire it up to keep it charged? Sure you could find a good hiding spot for it though.More chance of you finding it than the cops .

That's exactly what I was looking for , will look in to different types/makes ect later on , as for the blocker if they plug in to the fag lighter just pull the fuse or the wires off the back of it and hope they don't have a battery powered one and yeah it looks like it's the same lot stealing the cars , one stole a bike and was thrashing it round Aberdeen for hours and ended up killing him self against some poor young
woman's polo a few months back
