Precursor to the house-arrest tracking thing on the leg?

I heard a funny thing on NPR a month or two ago:  Seems someone saw
an interesting brick-sized thing outside a house and snatched it.
Later that day cops arrested the thief at his apartment.  He had
stolen a tracking device that someone had put outside their door for
a second, the kind of thing that people under house arrest have to
wear all the time.  The cops knew immediately that it was missing.
Probably not the smartest thing in the world to heist that
particular unit.

I'm not sure how it got detached from the criminal.  Perhaps a cop
had taken it off of them temporarily.
