Nonsense. The tracker is removable and remains the property of the dealer.

  Removability is not the applicable criterion. It is whether the device is permanently affixed or not. If the dealer left a ballpoint pen in the glove box, sure, you could make an argument that they retain ownership of it. But the lockout device is exactly as removable and as permanently affixed as the car stereo, or the headlights, or the transmission. If you replaced the original manufacturer's car stereo with an aftermarket model, and wanted to keep it and swap it back out for the original stereo, you would have to mention that in the purchase agreement. The same goes for any other fixture or appurtenance on the vehicle. If it isn't removed before the papers are signed, or mentioned in those papers, ownership goes with the title to the vehicle.

    It's not permanently affixed. It's removable.

      So are the bricks which hold up my home. Don't pretend you're a legal expert.

      Everything is removable with a sledgehammer. Many things are made of constituent parts that can be removed, but that doesn't mean that the original owner has rights to it.

      But it wasn't removed. Nor were arrangements made for it to be removed. So all parties involved should have been able to expect that it would remain affixed to the car for the foreseeable future--the future in which the entire car, and everything in it, changes ownership.
