If you financed your truck, could it be a tracking device? You know ... just in case they need to repo.

I'm no expert, but I'd think those would be a dark color not some peacock blue.

I'm no expert either, and I obviously failed at trying to be funny with my post. They have other means to locate a wanted truck.
