Something a person could do to mitigate the cost somewhat. If you had an old apple/android device you could get a pay-as-you-go card and hide it in the truck. Then use the "share my location/find my phone" apps as a tracker. I don't see any reason that wouldn't work.
Most of them you have to update/replenish once a month. But for a month, it'll work.
There was a creepy news story in Washington a couple years back about a jealous ex-husband who hardwired a smartphone into his ex-wife's car's electrical system (concealed behind the dash) put the ringer on silent, and set it to answer automatically when called. By this sneaky strategem he could not only track all her movements, but could call the phone and eavesdrop on her conversations. I forget how she eventually figured out the stalking technique, but a similar approach could also be used for less nefarious purposes.
"Well the phone battery will give up before you need to replenish anything."
This is why Discoweb is so great. It would have never occurred to me (or I bet blue either) that the battery would run out. I mean I've not charged my DD phone in 20 years. But here's someone quick to point out that fact before Blue is driving around with a dead phone hidden in his rig like some stupid mook.

You would have to pay somebody to do it for you anyway. Just sounded like a really stupid half assed way to do something easy.
I’ll need the dog grate to keep monkey boy in the rear cargo area. He can even have a seat.
Good solution

This is the same kind of unit they installed on our fleet, actually every vehicle at the state government level. Replaces the OEM OBD port.

I meant the dog guard panel that separates the cargo area from the rear seat. Although he could still fling feces at me.

I had a similar system on my fleet vehicles with a company I sold back in 2016. You get caught up in the sales pitch about all the monitoring and warnings and then you start getting email and text alerts all night long about drivers going over 80 mph, sitting idle for too long, etc. You lecture the employees and then get even more alerts the next night, then turn all that shit off and merrily pay the monthly fees for the next 2 years. Rinse, repeat.
Just saw on Instagram the vehicle was recovered. The rear section of the roll cage was removed, wheels painted black, brush guard gone and the dash all taken apart
