This is well meaning but terrible advice. The ownership of the phone is easily traceable and there is no good explanation for why it would be in the guys car unless he just rode in it.

You want to maintain plausible deniability at all times in all things.

You are assuming no one gets in the boss's truck.

Not easy to figure out the owner of a locked phone.
You do have to make sure, can't answer calls when locked.

Even if the boss finds the phone,
he has no idea you attempted to track him.

Not easy to figure out the owner of a locked phone.

Get the IMEI from the phone or the SIM card number and use publicly searchable records to find the phone number and service associated with.

Don't think you can scratch those off. If the phone is working even if the Sim # is scratched off you just put it in another phone and have the phone tell you the ICCID. Or again go low tech and just text yourself.

Now I have different reasons than curiosity for this type of thing. And if I found someone's phone in my car and there wasn't a good explanation of it, I would use the phone to send death threats to city council members and then destroy it or bury it. The police will be able to quickly identify the owner and will interview him.
