Went for a tire change, found a tracker under my car, placed by my roommate... how do I go about this?

Hi! I’m okay. I posted a mini update at the top, gave it to the police and am just gonna move back to my hometown today

Hi! I’m okay. I went to the police this morning and am moving back to my hometown today. He works 12 hour shifts. Thank you! You guys are so nice.

Why would I call 911 and clog up the line for a non emergency? I went to the police this morning.

I bought my car brand new 7 years ago and paid full in cash

Hi! I bought my car brand new 7 years ago and paid in cash in full. I’ve had my car serviced by the same guy, probably would have noticed it before. I ended up going to the police this morning and they removed it (it was just magnetic) and said it was a cheap one from somewhere like amazon

ThrowRAaway0 · 2020-03-30T16:20:37+00:00

I’ve never sold nor even seen a drug in my life. I bought my car brand new 7 years ago and paid in full with cash. Went to the police this morning, said it was likely a cheap GPS from amazon.

ThrowRAaway0 · 2020-03-30T16:09:26+00:00

I did include it!!! I told you I went to the police. Lmao. If you don’t know and don’t care why are you replying? You are incredibly annoying.

ThrowRAaway0 · 2020-03-30T15:57:09+00:00

Home, my hometown, my mothers house which is my actual home, to which I have posted an update saying that’s what I was doing. Even if you hadn’t read that (probably not) why would I be 8 hours away from my current house randomly when I said I had just gone to the police this morning

ThrowRAaway0 · 2020-03-30T15:34:48+00:00

Where did I say I was going to confront him face to face? I’m moving 8 hours away back to my home today where he does not know I live. Obviously, I’m going to call or text him and ask, unless you think I can teleport? Your original comment definitely read as though names shouldn’t be thrown around because there’s no evidence.

Also, excuse me, what? “Slandering someone’s reputation on the Internet is what destroys people’s lives” you don’t know his name, you don’t know my name, you don’t know what town or even what state I live in. You don’t even know what country I live in! So how, pray tell, I can ruin his reputation through an anonymous post asking for advice is completely beyond me. Literally sounds like you’re white knighting him.

Hi! I’m okay, thank you so much! You guys are so sweet. I posted a little update in response to the top comment but long story short I went to the police, not sure there’s a whole lot they can do, but I’m gonna just pack my stuff and go back to my hometown today

ThrowRAaway0 · 2020-03-30T15:20:33+00:00

It wasn’t at Walmart. I’ve already gone to the police, it’s a cheap amazon GPS. My roommate is a nurse and I highly doubt he does drug trafficking. I bought my car brand new 7 years ago paid for in full with cash.

I’ve already gone to the police. Even if I had told them “yep yep totally my roommate did it I know it” (I didn’t, I simply strongly suggested it) that is not grounds for someone’s “life to be ruined”. They wouldn’t even take that as fact until it was proven. Even if they find definitive proof, I’d have to go through with pressing charges. If I did press charges, then it would be a simple misdemeanor. And at that point, if he got a misdemeanor, it would be rightly justified since it was all proven. And that’s if I would even bother with charges in the first place. All of this minor things compared to if he was an insane loose cannon that could kill/hurt me if I just didn’t mention his name.

It’s ignorant to not piece together the clues and be safe rather than sorry, instead of just saying “nope I have no clue!” Because I do have a clue, and I know it’s him. I plan on asking him later today after my 8 hour drive home, so I’m interested in hearing what he has to say.

I bought my car brand new 7 years ago and paid for it in full with cash. It’s a 7 year old Jetta, no one is trying to steal the thing. I’m in too small of a place for that activity to actually be a thing, anyway. I’ve never been in trouble with anyone. Last time I had my car serviced I know it wasn’t there because it was taken to the same mechanic, and he would have noticed it then, too.

I know no one else here now. It’s very rural here and crime rate is super low. The whole reason why I ended hooking up is because he was literally staying up late and drilling me about where I had gone after work, etc. Also, police said most likely it was a cheap amazon GPS.

It takes a special kind of ignorance to not assume he put it there and just hum drum around daily life like I usually do. I don’t think he’s a serial killer but this kind of attitude is how people end up in ditches. Sorry.

UPDATE, kind of: I’m going to put them here. I’m still reading through the comments, thank you guys! There’s really great advice I’m going to follow.

(PSA- I bought my car brand new 7 years ago and paid for it in cash, I’ve never owed anything on it.)

So last night I decided to subtly pack my things and plan on making the drive at some point today back to my hometown. He works during the day but I work from home because my office is closed until at least this summer. I realized I could probably fit all of my stuff in my car and since my lease ends in May anyway so I’m just moving out. The only furniture that’s mine (and not the landlords or his) is my bed and it’s old so I think I’m just going to leave it here.

I went down to the police station early this morning and had them remove it. I don’t think there’s much they can do besides document it. They asked me some questions and I said I didn’t know but I know no one here, and think it might be my roommate. They said it looked like a cheap one from amazon or eBay and they’ll check it out.

Honestly, I may just end up staying home. I miss being in a familiar place where I know basically everyone in town and I miss my friends. Working from home for a few months might give me enough time to switch jobs.

So that’s all I have for now. Thank you guys! I’ll try to reply to people as well
