    About 50 quid will buy you a GSM/GPS tracker, 80 hours of standby battery integrated. The device is standalone and you can then just stick a prepaid sim into it. It's configured by sending SMS to it entirely, so no need to get access to it, once it's installed. It's charged via USB, so a 12v to USB adapter is all you need to hardware it.

    Size of the yoke:

    To the left a Nokia N85, to the right my GPS mouse (for comparison). The device is tiny and easy to hide somewhere. In the ROI, having the tracker even saves you a few bop on the insurance.
