Fans have long speculated that [[the Order]] was so easily able to follow [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]] because they were using a tracking device.  This speculation appears to have been confirmed by [[Tachyon|Tachyon's]] [[Tracking device#In the Car|message]] to [[Daniel]].
 
 
==Tracking Devices==
 
 
===Vehicle Tracking Devices===
 
 
''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_tracking_system From Wikipedia]'':  Vehicle Tracking Systems are electronic devices installed in vehicles to enable vehicle owners or third parties to track the location of a vehicle. Most modern vehicle tracking systems now use GPS modules to allow for easy and accurate location of the vehicle. Many systems also combine a communications component such as cellular or satellite transmitters to communicate the vehicle’s location to a remote user. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet or specialized software.
 
 
===Non-Vehicle Tracking Devices===
 
 
Tiny GPS based tracking devices, devised for covert tracking, are now available on the mass market.  Commercially marketed devices can be as small as a small pager, weigh as little as a third of a pound, and have a battery life of nearly a month.  Such a device could be planted in a person's pocket or belongings and used to track the person precisely and remotely over the internet. See [http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/sendumgpspackagetrackerpt200.html example].
 
 
 
==Tracking Devices & LG15==
 
 
There have been two direct references to tracking devices so far in the official videos:
 
 
#[[Bree]] declares in [[Man In The Suit]] that she is sweeping the [[The motel|motel room]] for bugs.  Tongue-in-cheek, she literally sweeps the room with a broom, but at the end states that, "The only bug I found...was a cockroach."
 
#[[Daniel]] explains his decision to abandon his car in [[Homeless]], "So I got a bunch of messages from some people and... someone named Tachyon. She said that there was some sort of tracking device on my car. Well, I mean, how could they keep finding us? There had to be something on my car."
 
 
===In the Car===
 
 
In [[Homeless]], [[Daniel]] says that he has received a message from [[Tachyon]] stating that [[the Order]] had been following them by means of a tracking device planted in his car.  Based on this tip, [[Daniel]] abandons his car in the hopes that this will make it impossible for [[the Order]] to continue following them.
 
 
===In the Stuffed Animals===
 
 
Despite the events of [[Homeless]], many fans speculate that there is a tracking device, but it is not in Daniel's car; it is in one of Bree's stuffed animals.
 
 
====[[P. Monkey]]====
 
 
Fans initially became suspicious of a tracking device in [[Purple Monkey | P. Monkey]] because of the video, [[Don't Trust The Authorities]], in which [[Gemma]] states that [[Purple Monkey | P. Monkey]] would not be good at a swimming contest.  She also says, "Oh, don't tell P. Monkey what I said about him, he looks like a fragile little geezer." 
 
 
Believing that Gemma may be speaking in a sort of [[Double talk|code]] to Bree, fans speculate that Gemma's phrase ''don't tell P. Monkey'' is a hint that a tracking device is planted in him.  Fans also speculate that Gemma calls P. Monkey a ''fragile little geezer'' who wouldn't be good at swimming in order to draw attention to the fact that any tracking device inside the puppet would break if submerged in water.
 
 
While speculating about [[Purple Monkey | P. Monkey]], viewers recalled that [[parents | Bree's parents]] left her a note inside him (or her) before leaving with [[Lucy]] and the [[Deacon (individual) | Deacon]].  With a newly distrustful eye, users theorized that the note in [[Purple Monkey | P. Monkey]] might have been inserted there by [[the Order]] along with said tracking device.
 
 
====[[Owen]]====
 
 
[[image:Owen_with_bandage.jpg|right|thumb|295px|A cut large enough to insert a tracking device?]]
 
[[Owen]] refused to go swimming in [[Motel Pool]], despite the fact that he is known to have "won the 1998 Turtle Olympics in Alaska, for cold water swimming."  Fans speculate that this reference to Owen's water aversion may be foreshadowing of the fact that he is/will be the host of a tracking device, which would break if submerged in water.
 
 
Based on this line of speculation, fans jumped on the fact that [[Bree]] said in [[Ransacked]] that [[the Order]] had tortured [[Owen]].  She placed a bandage on Owen's back (see image at right).  It is not clear whether Owen's torture and first aid were simply intended by [[Bree]] as a joke.  Fans suggest that, if the bandage is indeed repairing a cut in his fur, it may be that [[the Order]] inserted a tiny tracking device into [[Owen]].
