More than one car from Vermont that visited Montreal recently was determined to have trackers after that visit. https://lethbridgenewsnow.com/2024/03/31/vermont-police-warn-drivers-returning-from-montreal-to-check-for-hidden-gps-devices/ Apparently, the thieves are happy to cross the border to find the cars at a later date. Or they have confederates on the US side of the border that will steal them. Or maybe the thieves are too dim to look at the license plate before planting the tracker. -- Rhino
