The tracking programme tells his other phone where his Surf is at all times

Cheap version of Lojack

Insurance requirement for insurance on Hiluxes (and a bunch of others) in Sarf Africa was to have a 'tracker' fitted.

So then they would strip your car as they drove it to try and find the location of the device. Happened to a buddy, was retrieved with interior completely stripped out. Insurance elected to put it back together but he said it never stopped leaking/giving hassles - next time he notices it stolen, he says he's going to find a coffee shop and have a few cups of coffee before he reports it's stolen to make sure the damage is sufficient to get it written off.
