You would have thought they would hide a tracker better than that?

Surprised someone bothered really, Omegas not exactly valuable  ;D

They were when they were new, remember.

Anyway, if you google the company you'll see they appear to predominantly offer 'fleet tracking' services; i.e. when the boss wants to know where all his employees are.. ;)

Even new, they depreciated so quickly. Understand one in an M5 or similar.

But tracking employee's sounds more likely!

It's just as well that there were enough bonkers people around to buy them new so that people could have them used now!  ;)
