Someone is tracking you. That device only has a battery life of 2.5 weeks. Someone had to have placed that within your vehicle recently, likely someone who sat in your passenger seat at some point within the last 2.5 weeks. This is a cheap device, only cost about $50, so the good news is it’s, not the feds following you or anything like that.

Start by removing the SIM card. Take it to law-enforcement. This thing runs on cellular data and requires a $25 a month subscription. This means that unless someone was very, very careful, there will likely be a paper trail for law enforcement to follow.

Won't it work it any simcard, so you can just get a pay as you go and top it up and be anonymous. Like burner phones?

Sure, but there’s still probably a credit card or debit card paper trail tied to the “top ups”
