Slightly O/T
This is just a FYI for anyone that owns a vehicle manufactured on or before 2018.
When 5G was rolled out this spring, many vehicles lost their "On Star"/locating capabilities. As 5G was rolled out, 3G disappeared. Many locating services (before 2018) were based on 3G technology.

KR's car was a Honda and I don't think ever had tracing technology. I feel it is worth noting because many other - pre 2018 vehicles have lost those capabilities.
I don't think most owners even realize this.
Again, just a FYI.
