There are GPS systems in cars available where you can check its location if
stolen.
I have a GPS unit and find it difficult to get a fix in my house.I have to
hold it outside for a while and quite high to get any form of signal lock.
So how therefore can a hidden GPS receiver get any signal? After all, hiding
it under the dash will just screen the signal.
