The Israeli Ituran has a similar service for cars, although I think they are based on cellular location and not GPS. There are few problems with that though- thieves know where and how to disable the device, even if you can locate the car you need someone to go and fetch it- most of the times this will be in place you don't want to go to alone, and a problem unique to Israel is that thieves can cross the border to the Palestinian Authority before you can deploy any police force to stop them.
