When the owner can track it why the need for chase, spike strips and window breaking?

Seem following with an unmarked car would be the way to go.

Haha, yep, the phone app tells you exactly where the car is, down to the exact parking stall and even shows which direction the car is pointing.

You can do pretty much everything with the app, except drive it down the street - the newer models will pull out of a parking spot and drive up to you.

What if she’d thought to put a small generator on the roof and run a cord to the charging port. Same way those charging stations work but portable!

You're shtting me. I was just walking by one those charging stations yesterday, thinking WTF, that fan system sounds like a generator running. Certainly it must be just really loud fans.

Now I'm really annoyed that they put them near the store entrances. --so many others inconvenienced.

Thanks. Which gets me back to the Q; why the need for chase, spike strips and window breaking?

Seems that they carried out a lot of unnecessary destruction to an innocent car.

Well the cord to the charging station might be REALLY long.....but it’s still a generator running a cord to it.
