unless you literally leave your keys in the car, the car is hard to steal through hotwiring it. Not to mention, lets be honest, these arent 100+k cars with a high theft rate. Being in the ATL metro area you are gajillion more times likely to be car jacked than have your car stolen when unattended.

So you have stated alot of covert needs in your project. Like "nobody can know" and "don't trust the installer". Also that you want to alert you and then ability to possibly turn it on when it gets to its location. For theft prevention, I think knowing that a car can be tracked is a deterrent to the actual theft. That being said, it sounds like you are more likely trying to surreptitiously and covertly track who is in the vehicle and where they are going when you aren't in the car with them. Might get more useful answers if you ohrase it that way. If that is the case, an old iphone is probably the best bet. It is cheap and once you get the answer you need you can take it out and not be paying a monthly subscription.

Good luck with your search,

Not sure where you got that idea--maybe you need to watch less ID Channel because you are hearing hoofbeats and thinking unicorns... My wife can't even drive a manual and I trust her completely. I would only care about where she is if she went missing.

This came up mostly because I might have to put my car in storage while I'm doing some remodeling for a while and I'd actually like to know if the car was moved. Say I didn't go check the storage for a few weeks and somewhere along the way it was stolen--there would be zero chance of recovery.

fake news! I didn't ever say that.

Me and Springfield Armory have got that part covered.

The anti-theft GPS function can indeed be achieved by using an old mobile phone. However, such a device is easily found by thieves and throws it out of the window. In this case, how far can you track your car? This is the reason for the existence of the hidden GPS tracker for car. A hidden GPS is much cheaper than a new car, isn't it?

And by bed, you mean the driver's seat, right?

Just my 2 cents. You're in GA, so the vehicle will automatically be deemed a salvage if it's recovered. It might be worthwhile to look into an agreed value insurance policy. If the car is stolen, no big deal. Just collect your check. I know the 996 qualifies for Hagerty's Guaranteed Value insurance.

Could you share what the qualifications were for this? I've been meaning to look into this option but my car is my daily (which ironically I don't drive as a daily) and it's my only car at the moment.
With regards to GPS trackers, if you're an iPhone user, the new AirTag is a hard to beat option at $29. It's already being adapted to bicycles so why not your car? Just toss it into the glove box or another storage compartments and done.

State Farm also does agreed value now. Classic car rates, full protection.
