I've no idea. Pic 1 is it in position as found and pic 2 is it on its own. There's no wires or clips to suggest it should be attached!

Is it a tracker? Should I be worried? Is the cat going to explode?

I think the cat will be fine.

Call 101. I think that's a covert car tracker.
Very worrying.

Is any of it magnetic? How long have you had the car?

Has it been in the garage for anything recently? It might be something belonging to a mechanic that's been left there accidentally.

Wasn’t there a thing a while ago where your insurance was less if your mileage/ speed etc were tracked? Or am I making that up in my imagination??

Yes, went to the garage a few weeks ago.

Not a lid, has a hole in the back through which I can see cables.

Nope cannot see the cat, is it hiding, might be a tad warm in there.

Is it heavy?

Report
Unhappyvegan · 08/12/2019 15:02

steff13 yep. It's completely detached, no suggestion it was ever attached. No clips or glue residue etc, no wires sticking out and not a lid. No obvious branding.

Is it possible that someone wants to track your movements?

Is the red dot a light? If you can move it could you take it to an auto parts store and see if they recognize it?

Unhappyvegan · 08/12/2019 15:04

flouncyfanny but should it be there? Should it be attached?

IdiotInDisguise heavier than I'd expect from its size.
