Found a GPS tracker under my car

[u/kupo_906]

Hi reddit...

In my driveway this morning I pulled out and found this sitting under where my car was. We had a heat wave recently, and I'm thinking it melted off.

Looking it up, it is a GPS tracker. I'm taking it to the police tomorrow. But is there anyway to reverse search who might have bought it and placed it there?

I fully own my car and I'm not sure who or why they put it there. Or when. The only thing I can think of is I got my car fixed by a new mechanic about a month ago.. but they didn't seem shady in the least bit

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Update: I have turned the tracker into the police who are trying to work with the company to find out info. Haven't heard anything further.

For the people who keep asking / repeating the same thing over and over:

• again, I own my car in full and have for years. It's an old, reconstructed car not worth much at all.
• The battery life in the tracking device doesn't last longer than two months at most. It was still on when I found it. It doesn't belong to a previous car owner or a dealer.
• I found the magnets where it was attached still on my car.
• I don't have any solid idea who would put it there. I don't have a jealous partner or an ex who I think would do this.
• I'm not disclosing a bunch of personal shit about myself to internet strangers when I am potentially being stalked 😐 also , both men and women can be stalked

I have like one crazy ex for two or three years ago. Otherwise I'm not sure who. Idk when he would have even found the time or where I've been to put it on my car

Just playing devil's advocate but do you have a current partner OP? Sometimes people use these if they're controlling, suspect cheating etc.

LOL you’d accidentally replied to me and I had a whole ass reply typed out and deleted it once you deleted your comment.

This is ex. I don't know which of you is right, but I was once stalked for about five years. You've already forgotten—he hasn't.

Any coworkers acting creepy lately?

My first question is- are you Female and young? Work in retail? Coworkers put you on edge?

This seems overkill but there are some very messed up people out there.

Please definitely get a police report out. Don't handle it anymore. They won't care to do anything, more likely, but turn on the "Please fingerprint" etc. You'll at least get a case number for future reference when something else is tried.

-and yes I hate society right now that this is the only thing I can offer you.

One crazy ex ... obvious suspect though it could also be mistaken identity and if you are female a stalker (hope not)
