A typical domestic GPS will give you accuracy to worst case 5m, but a good one will be sub metre, and taking enough measurements over time, especially with DGPS or RTK you'll get to less than 10cm. After 20 years at 7cm per second that

I have a physical key which I physically put in a hole in the steering column. This means I know exactly where it is when I come to parking the car, and you need to physically have it in contact to drive the car away. I don't get the a

Then busting "Mal" also busts Eve Eve is vouching for Mal. And when Mal1, Mal2, Mal3 etc are all vouched for by Eve, then they are all trivially linked. The far bigger problem is "how do you vouch for a single entitiy".
