It always makes me happy when a delivery or courier company provides ‘realtime’ tracking.

    Hmm. I mentioned wealthy neighborhoods because they are more likely to be getting deliveries, and importantly, the stuff will be worth getting.

    You make a good point about security systems and general police interest. Maybe some middle class neighbourhood would be best.

    All the vans have GPS for ‘productivity’ tracking of the employees.

    Not sure if you’re from NZ or noticed this is an NZ community, but I believe a majority of couriers here are independent contractors who own their own vans and get paid by the number if packages they deliver. I feel like it would be easier to track them via a company issued phone, but also you can track their productivity via the number of packages delivered so I’m not sure the location helps.
