A friend of mine is having an issue where someone is stealing his mail. They also took some packages he ordered online.

I had an idea where he could send himself some type of tracer/GPS tracker and then use it to pinpoint who's taking his stuff.

Is there a small electronic item that can easily do this? If so, any idea of how much it would cost?

I'd say it is available. Question is: "Is it available to the general public?"

Stompy · 12-13-2004, 11:12 AM

Yeah, should be. I don't see why it wouldn't. It's old technology.

How about a webcam?

I have thought about a webcam. The thing is, the mailbox is outside. I would need some sort of battery for it or something.

The cheapest GPS tracking device i could find is around 500 bucks.

i was thinking the same thing. even if it was available, it would be outrageously expensive for what you want. how about mailing yourself some gay porn or maybe a bag of shit with a note that says "eat it you mail stealing bitch!"

Mail yourself a box of lead and see if he steals that. Oh, wait. Postage would be ridiculous on that...

If he suspects the guy of being nearby, he could mail a wireless router with a large (LARGE) battery. Then wardrive around until you find the signal.
Hey, I'm trying to think outside the box, here.
