If you find something that is not yours, whatever it is, you don't get to keep it. And if the owner wants it back and you don't want to give it back, it is theft. I am sure there are plenty of special cases and a variety of laws but that's the general idea. And if the tracker was legally installed, you know it is owned by the police and don't want to give it back, then it is reasonable to call it theft. We can't blame her if she destroyed it, torn it apart or whatever but now that she knows, there is no excuse. Now, I don't know what the laws are but I think that could be perfectly reasonable to say: I will put it on my front porch tomorrow, it will be in an expensive looking box, feel free to pick it up. I mean, with you around, there is no way someone would want to steal an expensive looking box sitting unattended on the street, right ;)
