Losing a car or a pet is no joke. There was a time when trying to recover them is 99% impossible. However, with the Zoombak Locator in place, there's a chance for lost cars and pets just yet. The Zoombak Locator is an assisted GPS device specifically designed for the consumer market. The gadget itself is water resistant and weighs a mere 2.5 ounces.

By subscribing to their service for $10 a month, you get to monitor the whereabouts of your car or pet. You can set a safety zone around your area if you wish, and an email or a text message would be sent to you when the pet or automobile you're tracking strays out of the safety zone. Pretty useful if you ask me. Separate versions are available -- one for vehicles and another for pets.
