Silversand,
It isn't theoretical, GPS tracking has been used in the container industry for years. Also in the construction, Heavy equipment, transportation (think buses, cabs, rail cars, etc) fields. Even for recreational boating. And all the tugs in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca have GPS tracking so the Coast Guard knows instantly where each one is if they need one. I believe this is true for all the US harbors now.
Heck, even skiers carry them in case they get avalanched!
But that's not the point. Any security or anti-theft technology can be violated! But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't lock your car! GPS tracking and hidden shut-down equipment also shouldn't be ignored just because some people might have the technology to counter it. It's just another way to lock your car.
