    You do realize just how easy it is to destroy such and RFID tag? Pop it in
    the microwave - hit it with a big spark - that will take care of most
    anything except electronics.

    Wrap it in aluminum foil - it can't transpond.

    GPS only can give a car it's location - it cannot tell anyone else about
    it. That takes a transmitter - with an antenna - that can be clipped off or
    shielded. I don't expect professional car thieves will be much deterred -
    but we might catch many carjackers and amateurs...
