leave a mobile switched on in the van over night etc

So an old mobile permenantly attached to the battery and left on out of sight would be trackable by the police without having to subscribe to any service?

I guess if YOU want to track it you can pay for this service. But as with a lost individual, if your van gets nicked and you have a phone in it surely the Police could track it the same?

just disconnect the terminal from the battery, simple as that, only takes a few secs, easy and guaranteed

Get an android powered phone. Download "where's my droid" app.

All you do is download the app, then if you send the phone a text containing the words "GPS my droid" it will text back exact co-ordinates where it is within a couple of feet.
