    Anyone ever see one of these on your windshield after a service, or from anywhere else?

    Is it magnetic? Looks like one of those magnet gun mounts to me with no reference on how big it is.

    Are there any inconspicuous vans outside your house that look like this?

    Are you an interesting person?

    If not, I doubt anyone has any reason to track you

    You'll find those on Toyotas sold in the Southeast. Something to do with inventory tracking. Kinda like a mattress tag, if you remove it, you're as good as dead. Word on the street is they'll send extended warranty salesmen to your home, send non-stop trade-in mail offers, and call once a quarter to give you a less-than ideal buy-back offer.

    Did you tell them you would be back to pay them and never went back?

    Then yes, they put it there.

    I wonder if it's a temporary tracking device for the shop while its there, maybe they track the location and status of the vehicle with it....

    Maybe do a Kohberger, and throw it into the Snake River just to be safe.
