       | One interesting point is that non owners get to disable locators
       | if they are moving with them. Which makes sense to allow people
       | to disable hostile trackers, but it also means a thief can
       | disable it. May be the right call, but it does mean a ready
       | market for noncompliant devices will exist unless this is put
       | into law
