GLENDALE, Calif. - Police arrested a man they said tracked his ex-girlfriend's whereabouts by attaching a global positioning system to her car. Ara Gabrielyan, 32, was arrested Aug. 29 on one count of stalking and three counts of making criminal threats. He was being held on $500,000 bail and was to be arraigned Wednesday. "This is what I would consider stalking of the 21st century," police Lt. Jon Perkins said. Police said Gabrielyan tracked the 35-year-old woman, who was not identified, after she ended their relationship, showing up unexpectedly at a book store, an airport and dozens of other places where she was. Police said Gabrielyan attached a cellular phone to the woman's car on Aug. 16 with a motion switch that turned on when the car moved, transmitting a signal each minute to a satellite. Information was then sent to a Web site that allowed Gabrielyan to monitor the woman's location. The woman learned how Gabrielyan was following her when she discovered him under her car attempting to change the cell phone's battery, police said. Police allege Gabrielyan threatened over a six-month period to kill himself and the woman. An attorney for Gabrielyan could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday. He faces up to six years in prison if convicted. Would this work?  |

Yeah it should, I know Nextel has a service you can sign up for that will track any phone on your account. I'm too cheap to actually pay for it, so I don't know what kind of resolution it has. Besides I usually know where I am.

I have to admit I thought that too. Okay he's probably a sicko, but damn, he only got busted because the batteries had too short a life. |

Just think if he'd just wired the charger into the cars electrical system. Mike |

He got all of the other stuff to work, but he could not run 2 wires for a charger so he woul not have to change the battery? |

I was just thinking the same thing, but he'd have to get in the car. Probably for atleast 45 mins to do it stealthily. |

Drop a lead off the tail lights; it would charge when the lights were on. Wouldn't have to get in the car or under the hood.
If you had your rig ready to go that would take a couple minutes. |

Do that in 10 or so. One wire to power, and one to the frame and you are good to go. Mike |

Except that most tailight wires are internal to the vehicle compartments. This would mean getting inside the vehicle, which would make putting it in the engine compartment a more viable alternative, but that also entails more risk of discovery. |

You could tap into the fuel pump power wire or a lot of cars have wires for accessories and trailers. Drawtite actually makes an adaptor which allows you to tap into the power supply that goes to the trailer. Plug and go. If she had trailer wiring already, it would be a matter of seconds.

I wouldnt really call it stalking, I would call it a lie detector test. Ever had a woman lie to you and tell you she was someplace else? |

A restraining order is just a trial of your love  This case reminds me of some device that came with a CD at Autozone. It advertised something about being able to record MPH and distances driven, locations its been, etc, etc and all the informations accesible online. Of course it was being advertised for buisness owners to monitor employees with company cars and parents to watch their teenage kids in the family car, but it could be used for other things. |

It most certainly IS stalking. The relationship was over and he couldn't let go, couldn't handle being rejected. As for a gf, wife or SO telling you one thing and being in another place, thats a trust issue. No gizmo is going to build trust, and if you are caught using it, you can be pretty sure that any hope of trust being built or maintained just went out the window. A SO who has to resort to telling you lies is essentially signalling that the relationship is over because it has major issues that cause them to resort to lies. The parties just haven't gotten around to pulling the pin. |
