Think I will order a coupe, to try.
Be careful which ones you get. Some you must pay a monthly fee for the service, and there are other catches too. Just saying, do your home work to make sure it fits your intended use.

The one you just linked is a bluetooth device, it'll work only in a few feet away from your phone. As I said, be careful.

I'll agree with @Eugen on this, much more likely they would just quietly push it away onto a waiting trailer...

In this day and age a tracker is probably the best way to recover it if it wanders off your property. Other options would be to physically chain it down or lock and chain up the wheels so it's more of a nuisance to try and move in the middle of the night, you could also mount a Battery Disconnect switch under the hood, with the added benefit of making sure there are no hidden drains on your battery when it's not in use.
