tracker device,they work?
Discussion
Just wondered if anyone had needed to use their tracker device.I had a 24hr moniter on my truck and was called to say it was moving and did i know.Luckily or unluckily,i'd left the handbrake half on,not in gear and it had rolled 20 meters down the road(doh).It made my pulse go past 200 as i thought the pikies were nicking it....as you do!Has anyone else really used one for what they were intended?
I had mine go off within moments when the car was recovered to the dealer and was on the back of a low-loader. 
The system works alright. As with you..luckily my car was not being nicked.
Dealer tells me that whenever a car-transporter of trade-ins leaves their site their phones start ringing off the hook.

My GPS tracking system went off when I had my Lotus Carlton - was on a low loader being towed back to dealership who had obviously done a wonderful job servicing it 
My phone rang when I was in the cab of the recovery vehicle, I explained the situation, they asked for ID... so I said 'tell me the speed and location' and they said 'Greenford Rd, 31mph'. We were in Greenford Rd, so I look at the speedo... reads just over 30.
Definitely works

I used mine when I thought my company BMW X5 had been nicked. It was only two days old and had pride of place parked outside the house, came back from the pub as I walked down the road It was gone.
I was mortified, dialled 999, and phoned tracker panic stricken.
Got a phone call about half an hour later from my business partner who unknown to me had called round to my place and left his car up the road and gone out for a cruise round in the X5. He got nicked by a Traffic Car in Brighton that had picked up the Tracker Signal, I fell about laughing had to confirm to tracker and the traffic police that he was a legitimate driver of the car, cancel the stolen vehicle report etc, mind you I was tempted to let them take him to the nick and sit in a cell for a couple of hours.
