Odd little boxes

Mysterious White Boxes are in the back of our vans. They look harmless but seem to do nothing. Using the switch doesn't get any action. Any thoughts. Some of our conspiracy buffs think we are being tracked already.

We are being tracked, someone got hauled up about doing over a ton on a dual carriage way because of a tracker.
Everyone knows it. It certainly isn't rumour in our office, people take it as fact.

There have to be an agreement with the Union to allow implemention of this, along with ground rules, otherwise it will be exploited by the Management as a tool to beat us with.

What sort of van was this? None of our vans will do this sort of speed except maybe down a very steep hill... or so I'm told...

I was thinking that too

with wind assistance and going downhill maybe our vans would get up to 60 or 65

I asked are transport manager two years ago about this box in the top right hand corner. Got a reply next day

All it is, is a timing device for the interior lights.If you notice when you lock your van the interior light goes out after 15 secs! This switch just adjusts the time limit.
What is the matter with you all? It is NOT a tracking device.If in doubt ask your garage?
