GabriellaKat submits this snippet from Yahoo! news, writing "'Yasir Afifi, 20, says a mechanic doing an oil change on his car in October discovered the device stuck with magnets between his right rear wheel and exhaust.

Now he has decided to sue the FBI. This story was also covered last year when he found the tracking device."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
