@robryk@qoto.org for a day or so it was at Vienna Westbahnhof. Tracking showed it in a residential building right next to the Bahnhof, but not sure if that was actually the location or just where the devices pinging it from were.
Looked around there but with hundreds of units, in the circle all we could do is ask people walking by if they found it, and again given it was right next to a Bahnhof maybe the location was just slight off.
Today we found which line it was on, but it stopped at HBF instead of continuing on that line, and when we caught the train at its final station the train driver of that one didn’t know anything. An hour or so after it went off in a different direction from HBF.
We will see where it stays tonight, but even if we go to its location all we can do is ask people about it. It’s quite infuriating to know it’s probably within 50m of you but you can’t actually find it.
And especially with infrequent pings it’s hard to know which train it’s on before it’s off in the distance.

@phos@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net If it's in a different location for this night, it's a significant piece of evidence: it's carried by someone who spent each of these nights in a different place, which is atypical. Similarly, it would be interesting to note that it's moving at night: this means it's with someone (or something) that travels at night, which is also atypical. Did you explicitly ask that driver about potential shift changes at HBF? (I would not assume that drivers and conductors have same shifts.)
