This looks like a good idea, but I don't see how you could hide it on a total station. Most RTK units already have communication ability, so giving them "LoJack" capability seems plausible.

Very true on a GPS base station.
I can easily put that inside my battery holder on the robotic instrument (Topcon 9000a) since I use and external batt.

Ah - good idea. My total station also has an empty battery compartment.

About $300 for the first year, be nice if your ins co would cover most of the cost.
