Garmin sells a GPS tracker aimed at dogs but you can track anything with it.

Edit: Here it is, but it looks discontinued...

I get that you don't want them joyriding or pulling one over on you, but at the end of the day does it really matter? Or to put it another way, is there really anything you can and/or will do about it anyway? Besides, you'll sell the car off soon enough.... ;)

Edit:
Here you go, no monthly fees just some aa batteries.

You make a good point, the big picture is 'does it really matter', for me I just want to make sure no one is taking the car home with them.

Just leave your kid's i-phone in the glove box and use the find my phone app.

Yeah, find my iphone is a sweet stalking app. :eeps::D

Saves me many texts and calls with my wife. Kids love to track mom as she makes her way home.

I couldn't pry the phone out of their hands if I tried, I think it's attached to them :lol:

Meanwhile I was thinking of what device I have that has the find iphone app but they all need wifi to be connected ...

A dash cam that runs with the car might be even better. Than you can actually monitor the driving behavior.

That is a pretty good idea ... I need to look into those but I think I'd be worried someone would see them in the car and try to steal them ... Kind of like leaving radar detector on the windshield ... Some dummy will break a window and try to steal it even in the dealer parking lot.

I had the opposite problem with my last BMW that had the stalling issue. I encouraged them to take the thing home every night for a week so that they could reproduce the issue, but it seems instead that they would just wash it and tell me it's ready for pickup.
