Bugging the stolen vehicle makes sense. Much
more than a bug on the bomb all this time.
After all, J&R are sticklers about tracking
items and accounting for everything, so having
a tracker on their vehicles makes a lot of
sense. And arranging to "allow" a vehicle to
be stolen by Hawkins shouldn't be a stretch
for this guy all things considered.
