Seriously interested in what Tracker would do, people pay good money for those devices to be fitted and on-line so to speak, what do they do?

if a car was towed away in a covered trailer like the big horse box type thing would the tracker work seems a total waste of money if not

If you put anything in a Farraday Cage, ie concrete building with steel reinforcing, a radio signal can be masked quite easily, just try using a mobile phone in a new style hospital, no signal

no trackers work in freight containers so it should work in a covered trailers aswell but if the thieves know where the tracker is then its a waste of money.perhaps an informer in the tracker company.that i know has happend in norway.trackers have been found on lorrys going out of the country but the cars are somewhere else.

thinking about what capri rs said - we all loved the film gone in 60 secs but when you know those concerned that lose their car its not so amusing!
