Kinda interesting story of a guy that found a tracking device on his car. Brings up the question if you find something attached to your car is it yours or does the gov't have the right to demand you return it? "Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back A California student got a visit from the FBI this week after he found a secret GPS tracking device on his car, and a friend posted photos of it online. The post prompted wide speculation about whether the device was real, whether the young Arab-American was being targeted in a terrorism investigation and what the authorities would do. It took just 48 hours to find out: The device was real, the student was being secretly tracked and the FBI wanted its expensive device back, the student told Wired.com in an interview Wednesday"

I like the idea about selling it on eBay.

Another character actor from men in Black... I'm reminded of what Will Smith told the Bald guy with the goth girlfriend...

There was a documentary I saw about the counter culture artist Robert Crumb made just before he moved to France. His mother was *really* wierd. His brother was an even better artist, but had completely lost it.

I guess you could have picked it off your car and thrown it in the trash. You have done no crime by cleaning up your car. That this guy had an Arabic name tells the story.
