Sorry guys, I just have so many questions!
I found a strange black device hiding away in the passenger-side visor. It seems a bit conspicuous to be anything from MI5. It comes off easily enough as it's just fixed with some sticky pads. Any thoughts?

It may be a GPS receiver. The clue might be in that it has 2 wires, typically one for power, and the other to go into a dash cam to provide the location info / speed on any video footage taken. It's not standard kit and it may have been wired into the fuse box in the glovebox compartment (down the windscreen top and side trims).
The previous owner probably removed the dash cam and couldn't be bothered to take all the trims off and remove all the wiring - it is a job as I've done it myself.

So they ARE tracking me. I knew I wasn't paranoid. I'm off to buy a load of Kit Kats now; tin foil hats don't make themselves!

I think if it was of extra terrestrial origin, it would be a bit more sophisticated than that!

Flux capacitor?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

The other half has installed a 'Spy in the Cab' to make sure you REALLY are going where you say you are going!
