There's no law prohibiting this - that's the argument they'd make if the defendants challenge it. Remember, this is a private entity doing this and a corporate "person". Unless you're stalking someone, it's not illegal to put a tracking device on their car. It's perfectly legal to photograph them on your property and follow them afterwards. Of course, if the theives had discovered the tracking device, they would have been well within their rights to destroy it.
If you take the "corporate" portion out of the equation, I don't see where this is that big a deal. So long as it's confined to catching those suspected of illegal acts, I don't have a problem with this.
