Afifi posted pictures and his story on Reddit while a friend contemplated cunning things to do with it, sticking it to someone else's car or selling it on Craigslist.
An Arab-America citizen called Yasir Afifi sued the FBI for violating his privacy rights by placing a tracking device on his car without a warrant because of his racial background.
The ACLU is working with Afifi to fight that ruling, and for now we're hoping that he, who is an American with an Egyptian father, is currently able to hit the town without agents following his every move.
