Yes, I was thinking of this case specifically when I wrote. If memory serves, that young man found the thing and asked on ... twitter? Facebook? some web site "Is this a tracker?" then the feds got all snippity about getting the device back. I was thinking more of what happens if a person silently dislodges it... into a lake. Or the neighbor's truck who happens to be travelling cross-country for the next 3 months and says nothing to anyone about it. I wonder what the actual (as opposed to legal) ramifications would be.
