Crack it open and take out the GPS and cellular module.
Or relocate the entire unit to somewhere it will actually provide civic good like somewhere prone to Illegal Garbage dumping or as a trailcam for wildlife.
They tend to have tamper alarms and since the company has a working relationship with the local PD I don't really want to be playing engineer with a device like that.
