[Rhodes22-list] XM/GPS?

[R Orkin]

By what medium could xm possibly "call home" ?
It has no transmit capability other than short range FM so it can be heard
on the car radio
There is no tie in to a specific car or anything of that nature..
I even have one on my riding mower.
I suspect your friend may have gotten a call from a neighbor who saw her
move it and was playing a prank.
What you have described is quite impossible
