If she put a GPS in your car she already suspects your up to no good. Just take the bus to punt.

That's messed up and you were too careless about your activities with punting. SELL THE CAR ASAP!!!

Bro OP, it's probably your phone that she's tracking, not your car. It's a lot easier to track your phone because it's already got all the hardware on it to be tracked. Plus it's more "comprehensive" because you go everywhere with your phone but not necessarily with your car. There are heaps of apps and websites that offer this service.

One exception is maybe if you drive a Tesla. You can easily track your Tesla using the app.

That said, I don't think knowing how she's tracking you is going to help. All the best, bro!

Are you sure it’s a GPS?

I could be a small tracker like an AirTag or even small devices such as headphones that have tracking in them.

You will need to figure out how she does it first. If you are using apps like find my phone, family sharing etc you might want to start with these.

The reality is, if she is already tracking you she is suspicious and you have upset her. I’d say take a break and/or leave the phone in the office/home, take public transport etc

Like everyone says, public transport mate.

Or let her “catch” you a few times but actually be at places. Like a cafe or Bunnings or something.

Google it. Finding a GPS tracker isn’t difficult. There are tracker detectors you can buy.

If you have money, most private detectives can find it for you, for around $500. They have the detector equipment.

Never, ever park your car near a massage shop. Always park 10 minutes walk. Or go to places near shopping centres.

Drive to her best friends place. Park the car out front and catch an uber from there to go for a punt. That will teach her a lesson

Check your phone first. For safety reasons even parents have tracking devices installed on children's phone.

I have a GPS tracking device which came with my car and it's not a Tesla. But it was my own fault that the App is not on my phone. Lol. Anyway , I still have the previous car to use .

Just have to be street smart about your punting. Try not to leave any traces e.g toll charges , time of the day , even paying off street parking on the credit card. Your brothers in arms have enough suggestions.

A military grade faraday shield will take care of that! a DIY roll will set you back between $10-$90. Otherwise get yourself a gps jammer they go for around $10-$60.....problem solved.

The easiest "GPS" to install in a car discreetly is an Apple Air Tag. Car thieves in the US have been using that trick by placing their own Air Tags on a car they want to hit, let the owner drive home and break in the house at night to steal the keys and drive the car away.

If your missus installs a proper GPS tracker in your car I respect her technical skills, maybe she should work part-time as a mechanic instead of staying home tracking your movements. Installing a GPS tracker isn't easy, you need knowledge of electrical systems in order to power the tracker each time the car turns on. Those wireless magnetic ones aren't as good and the battery life is very short, if you forget to charge it you won't be able to use the tracker the next day.

If she tracks you on your phone it's easier, but you can circumvent that by turning on airplane mode or wrap your phone in aluminium foil.

There's no point doing anything. Once she has the will to track him or suss him out, he's done. If she's tracking his phone, he can't just block the tracking on anyway cos it'll look like a black hole in his tracking history. And he can't just leave his phone somewhere cos he won't be able to answer her calls.
If she's tracking his car, using a GPS blocker will also leave a black hole in the tracking history. Again, totally suss and he also runs the risk of being actually caught having a GPS blocker.

Better not get caught by the cops. The cops have a radar in their car that detects signal jamming devices, and if you're getting the cheap stuff you're less likely to get caught and at the same time fail to jam the GPS tracker that your missus had installed.

When I was working for an electrical appliance distribution company I was made to wire up electrical filters on all the European imported appliances which didn't make sense to me at first until I was told about how some electrical appliances can disturb communication devices of emergency services just by operating even when it is not fitted with a communication circuit like BT or radio. It's a big fine if emergency services communication gets jammed and they find whose appliance or devices causes the signal jamming, and that's why every electrical appliances sold in Australia has to have the big "tick" from Australian Standards.

Have to echo the posters saying it's over.

The root problem is her lack of trust and/or respect - even if you circumvent this attempt to track you, she'll find another way.

Guy turns to wife for some loving and affection, his wife cock blocks him, he starts punting, wife notices strange behaviours and suspects he's cheating on her, she installs a gps tracker to monitor his movements, so guy turns to a sex forum with 200 horny guys for advice.

If you have a burner or work phone, forward your calls to it and then you can leave phone at work whilst you pop out for your release.
If it is car, as others have said use PT, taxi, uber.
Installing a GPS itself is simple, battery power, ignition power and earth. The tricky part is hiding the unit, but I have seen them installed in the engine bay and simply wrapped in black electrical tape and it was very difficult to see.
Good luck, as it sounds like you will need it.

Unless you're punting in the suburbs I find it stupid to drive to a shop in the city or inner west areas. Parking is almost impossible to find and if you do find one the hourly rate is much more expensive than a two way trip on public transport, not to forget factoring in tolls and petrol costs. And the possibility of running late to your booking because you drove around the block for an hour and still can't find a spot. If you're driving to the city it only makes sense if you're punting late night from 10pm onwards as most parking are free from then onwards.

Need more details to provide support but here are some options;
1. Find places that are near shopping centers that also support your hobbies - if you like shoes/sports, park at the shops and say you went to Rebel, Reading? Dymocks, DIY? Bunnings. Be creative if you need to drive. Park at the shops, go to the punt.
2. Is she tracking your phone? You can put your google maps on incognito (not sure if it tracks but it suspends the gps timeline thing that google has). Not sure if it stops 'find my phone'.
3. Buy an opal card (or a second one) with cash. You can check Opal or even tap and pay (credit card/phone) history. Don't register your second opal card. Punt at places near the station.
4. Buy a small burner phone from CEX if you can afford it, don't keep it on you - keep it in your gym locker or something or a magnet box under your car.
5. Most importantly, don't change your habits. If you change your normal routine, its immediately sus.

Godspeed

With my (Android) phone I can turn off location, so that your movements/locations are not recorded. If location is enabled, you may get a monthly report from Google summarising all the places you visited in the previous month.

Hope this helps a bit...

I'm guessing he's decided to quit punting to save his marriage, and that includes quitting this site as well. Genuinely wish him all the best to him!

I reckon it was the wife all along, she is trying to find loopholes as to why she hasn’t caught her husband after putting a gps tracker on his car.

We provided her way too much intel.

If you’re keen buy a cheap burner mobile phone to use … park your car in a regular place lock up your mobile phone and leave your phone … then use your cheap burner phone to taxi or Uber … taxi is best if your using cash as Uber tracks back to credit card

Yeah, nah.

Mate all she has to say is "This is my car, I saw a lot of car thefts/break-ins posted in our local Facebook group and decided to put a tracker on mine for security." Now, if she stuck a tracker in his bag or something like that... possibly inside him, then yeah that could be argued in court. Why not just get a divorce at that point though.

I worked with a guy years ago, he had an old iphone for ages and came into work one day with a brand new samsung phone, he was so impressed and showed it off to everyone.

A couple of weeks later, I noticed he was back using his old iphone, thought nothing of it at first but when I noticed it for a month. I asked where's your new Samsung phone? thought you loved that thing? he said, his wife has an iphone and can't track him with the new phone so she made him go back to an iphone! haha. Some guys just liked to be controlled, if my wife did that to me, she would be out the door. (if I have a wife....)

In the near future your wife will be able to stick a tracker directly in your body using something like a diabetic injection pen while you're asleep. The next day you'd be surprised at how she knows your every movements even when you've taken all the steps outlined by this thread to not get caught.

I have been tracked previously with airtags and also a PI following me. Hence I have been retired from the scene for a while.

Too complex once you are married or have a partner. Divorce is a bitch.
