The 'tracking' part sounds pretty far-fetched. (read: marketing hype)
Let's play out the scenario.
Perp robs a CVS with his mobile phone in his pocket. (could happen)
On-site device pings this mobile phone during the commission of the robbery, capturing the mobile phones MAC address. (could happen)
Cops show up in good time, consult the on-site 'tracking device' and catch the perp counting his loot behind a dumpster in some alley less than 1050 feet away from the CVS he just robbed. (never happen)
How does this on-site device purport to 'track' a mobile phone anyway? Without triangulation, I would think the only thing it could provide is simple distance from pinging device - not direction, and certainly not location.

When I read it, I assumed they were talking about pre-paid phones they sold....

It seems everyone carries a phone today, especially the bad guys. Leaving a retrievable electronic signature in a store, a bank, or some other location where they have this technology, and where a crime just occurred, will give investigators a tremendous tool to track down a criminal. An investigator could submit the data to cell provider databases for ping location history, which may correlate to other locations where similar crimes occurred.

Good points (pro and con) regarding the cell phone tracking. That noted, I have a question and a point. First, what cameras (besides dummy devices) have blinking lights?
Regarding loss prevention in general, technology will help. However, the biggest difference will be made through educating store employees about what to do (and what not to do) regarding armed robberies and shoplifting. Too often, there is no set policies and/or training for the minimum wage workers that are at the point of loss. The policies should be vetted by experienced security professionals and communicated often to employees. Training should be done at initial hire and regularly to re-enforce the importance and bring in changes in approach and highlight new threats.
As technology integrators, we often overlook the importance of the human element...which is often the difference between making the technology effective or rendering it useless.

Here is why we need to rethink camera positions. Although many are afraid to install audio due to regulations, the audio does provide a lot more insight into the perpetrator than the video.
The video shows a possible witness, that helps!
I wonder if detectives would think to capture a log of any attempts to connect to the motel wireless? I could see this guy leaving his phone on.
When will law enforcement be able to request phone GPS information from sites that track it like Facebook?
