light aircraft showing up on trackers in suburban neighbourhoods

So, it is possible that the wings were taken off and transported to the properties, assuming they have garden/garage space, but I think that this is unlikely. Might I be seeing some electronic part of the aircrafts that encompasses the transponder and they are being powered up from time to time ? Curious.
Don't some of them do detective work from height , looking at garden house buildings etc. looking for people who live in these, out buildings[ thermal , heat sources ] - who should NOT live there , especially on cold clear frosty nights ..
Don't forget those ' warm ' cannabis factories also ...
As the technologies get better ..
