I fortunately never had personal experience with this, but around here (central europe) car thieves often steal car and then just park it in some neutral place to let it "cool down" for couple of days - if it contains any tracking devices owner will get it and they will not reveal their garage. There are facebook groups where people post details of their stolen cars and people report if they see them parked somewhere. If this is the case, tracking device may be quite helpful.
