    There is a documentary on netflix called American underworld that follows a Mexican car thief and they show what they do with a vehicle. Basically they will "get an order" from someone wanting XXX vehicle or XXX part and they will drive around....find the vehicle and then part it out. These assholes even went to the junkyard.... replaced the FRAME to get rid of hidden tracking numbers...and re-assembled the vehicle to sell for about 10,000$ All within like 24hrs.. It's pretty ridiculous.

    Hope you get your rig back dude. I would be so pissed! I wish hidden real-time GPS tracking did not cost so much or I would have it on all of my vehicles, just for the sake of justice.

    Another benefit of Ham radio. Lots of people use APRS as cheap lowjack. You can buy small cheap transmitters, set them up once and then hide them in your truck. Has a limited range, unless you are in an area that has a lot of igates & digipeaters, then you can see it on the web.

    Downside: its a public broadcast of your location at all times.

    I was reading about APRS awhile back, since I want a Ham tech license. I looked a local APRS map that showed live people around the area. Pretty cool, and not a bad idea.

    and yeah the downside is a slight scary. Buttt..if you could engineer a circuit that would use a relay to keep your radio off until triggered by theft, then you could arm it and leave the vehicle. If broken into while armed the relay would power the unit and start the APRS transmission and begin charting.

    The problem there is automating the radio to recognize power and then default to APRS mode by itself. That's an engineering nightmare. Would be cool though!

    How much is a vehicle tracking system?

    I wish I had a system like in the show "Bait Car". The show where cops plant keys is a vehicle and sit back and watch till someone steals it. Then they shut the entire vehicle down and lock the thieves inside. I want that.

    It's really not too hard to engineer now that these cameras and such are really cheap. The
    problem for people like you and me though is that like with shows like Bait car...someone is at the trigger...full time.... in order to trigger the system while you are asleep for a cheap price? without a full-time-live trigger? not impossible but, it would take some insane soldering/programming. Otherwise something like that costs your arm
