Well, unless you own and maintain an older car, people won't have the option to lose their tracker within a few years. And you'd better not carry around one of those spy-on-me phones that almost everybody seems to have now, because they'll use data from that as a back-up for "lost my tracker" cases. Or it'll be like road tolls -- lost your ticket? law says you pay the maximum possible amount.
Neither do my vehicles, but they're all over 20 years old, and there will be fewer and fewer non-trackable vehicles on the roads with each passing year. Plus many people don't realize how trackable their vehicles are.
Same goes for phones. My current one is not trackable beyond cell tower triangulation, and much of that is not recorded anywhere for any significant length of time. But it's 3G and 3G signal coverage is going start disappearing by early next year. There are very few 4G phones on the market that can reliably block specific location tracking, and they are expensive and not offered by phone service providers as part of plans where the cost can be spread out. Realistically, this means they will remain a niche market item, unless a big chunk of our population starts wising up fast.

My car doesnt have that kind of feature, and my phone doesnt have those services turned on.
