Magnetic sticker on rear view mirror.

Does anyone have an idea what this is? I found it stuck to the back of my rear view mirror. Doesn’t seem like it’s from factory, so I’m wondering if it’s okay to get rid of it? I am the second owner.

It is a gate opener, you can throw it away.

I would get it back to the original owner and not toss it.

I've seen something similar on Home Depot valuable packages.
If you don't deactivate it, the door alarm will sound

Thank you. Glad it isn’t something I needed. I don’t believe I’ll be able to track the previous owner and being it’s 1.5 years later, I don’t think it matters much by now. I’m going to toss it.

My 2007 W211 has the same thing and so as my W164 2010, I believe it was for the Mb dealers gate to open for servicing
