I have a customer who's losing equipment to theft.  I need a small GPS tracker i can hide in a small piece of lawn equipment as bait.  I plan on adding a 12v battery cel if needed.  Due to the time it takes for authorities to act id like pings a few times a day with an expected life of 45 or more days.  


I've seen gps trackers that cost 30 to 40 a month but read that some are 70 or so a year, is rather use the one time payment system so im not setting him up for a monthly contract and instead a one time purchase, he can renew if he wants to in a year.  

Anyone here have any experience?  Recommendations?

    How about an old iPhone mounted somewhere wired to a battery? Advantage is the cell system can triangulate via cell as well as GPS.

    I think I'd rather setup cameras and catch them that way, versus tracking them down, and possibly having a really bad confrontation.  Really bad things could happen....

    Hes not going to confront them, he's giving the detective the coordinates/address.
