I don’t think anyone’s been keeping stats but it’s been a thing ever since GPS was widely available and cheap-ish. It seems to divide up between stalking and scummy car dealerships with a few people under fed surveillance thrown in.

I’m fully aware of how to search the internet, how GPS trackers work, and how they are used.
The part I’m skeptical of is that this is something that is disproportionately common for women. That sounds like FUD to me.

I think it’s less that it’s disproportionately effecting women and moreso the bias that women are more likely to notice and report for social reasons. It’s kinda like with folks getting drugged at bars, one of my buddies got drugged and he just went to sleep in his car no police report no nothing.
