Would have been nice if Williams could have "closed the loop" by attaching the GPS device to a police cruiser. Watching a cat or dog chase its tail is always good for a few chuckles.

I would have put it in an envelope and sent it off to China. Give 'em a run for their money... *LOL*

It would be interesting to find out where the orders, and tracker came from.

   Zealand, had his car briefly confiscated in a police investigation.
   When he got it back, he discovered a GPS tracking device had been
   installed behind a panel. He put a SIM card from the device into his
   mobile phone, and found it was programmed to text a police detective's
   mobile with reports on his location. Williams then put the tracking
   device up for sale online, noting "No police to bid on this." Williams
   has not been charged in any crime. A spokesman for the New Zealand
   Civil Liberties Council said the case sounded like a cross between
   George Orwell's "1984" and "the Keystone Kops". (Christchurch Press)
   ...Which is pretty much how I had always envisioned "1984" would be
   implemented.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AA8C17F9-8396-47B8-8B83-92B78570BE63/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
