You missed it.

For about an hour after the car was stolen we were able to follow it around on my app’s map because my asset tracker remained undetected in the backseat. After that, the thieves discovered it and ditched it ... Over a month after the car was stolen it was found abandoned in terrible condition in an impound lot: bullet holes in the roof

I wonder how the thieves knew it was a tracker and the author knows it was ditched because of it's discovery.

I do believe it's a contrived story as an attempt at "viral" marketing.
