the loud alarm and policeman on the road searching for the stolen car has worked well for decades

LOL no. It hasn't.

haven't heard of car theft in.. a pretty long time

Right, my mistake. If you haven't heard of it happening, it must not have happened.

think these tings do exist, in the form of little devices thay you can connect to your car's OBD port, and they have a GPS receiver and a SIM slot to do it's job.

...yes, that's what we're discussing...

obviously not. what we are discussing is optional and voluntary, because it is removable

No. It isn't. What we are discussing is whether or not it is useful and if there is a "good reason" to have them at all.
