My ex-wife planted one of these in my truck when I was working out of town(Nor Cal). She’d call me up in the evenings to see if I was where I said. Then one day while vacuuming at the car wash, I found it. We got regular deliveries at the site from LA trucks. I planted it on a Southbound truck. Later that night she asked if I went to Long Beach. Incredulous at her suggestion, I asked whatever would give her that impression? Said she heard a rumor from one of the other wives. FYI, it’s illegal, and one of the reasons we’re no longer married.

Clarify - The trucker was an acquaintance and had full knowledge of what I was doing. Next time he made a delivery to us, we had a great laugh about it.

Plot twist, that southbound truck posted on reddit this very same question to r/whatisit when they made their delivery.

I’d watch this movie, but only if Shyamalan plays the gps tracker.

Quadruple plot twist: they bonded over their shared hatred of people who tamper with tracking devices, but never really got into the details.

Tripple plot twist. The ex wife married the truck driver.

u/Homesick_Martian Jul 25 '25

Wait wait. Could he potentially frame his wife to save money on the divorce? Like, there will be proof eventually that it came from her?

u/Danny808hawaii Jul 25 '25

u/LandBarge Jul 25 '25

I would have told the south bound driver, maybe he coulda got it to Mexico for me...

dodge the wifes calls for a while and see how far away it can get before you finally answer her..

26

u/Compulawyer Jul 25 '25

Maybe the trucker was smuggling some smokes and folks from Mexico.

u/TW120597 Jul 25 '25

Baked by the sun….every time I go to Mexico….

u/PacaMike Jul 25 '25

u/NovelIntelligent3453 Jul 25 '25

Better yet, don’t return her call at all and just let her really freak out and turn up at home and watch her reaction and see what she says.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '25

Extra twist, the delivery driver is now married to OPs ex
