High tech stalker apprehended!

A rather creepy story from the Yomiuri:
A man indicted for stalking reportedly attached a Global Positioning System device to his target’s car and used a positional information service to monitor her actions and follow her, police said. Takao Yoshihara, a temporary worker from, Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, is charged with violating the Antistalking Law. He reportedly used the service to check his target’s location on several thousand occasions and regularly followed her to grocery stores and other places she visited, according to Azumino Police Station.
I wonder how they caught him. I also wonder where he attached the GPS device. I searched for the story in Japanese, but didn’t find any extra information.
