Default OT surveillance camera for a car?

My wife left her car for 5 minutes and returned, only to find a GPS
stolen. I had a truck window smashed a year or two ago as well.

I would like to find a surveillance system for a car.

Requirements a

1) 12v power supply and low power consumption
2) Unobtrusive look or, better, designed to be hidden
3) Good recording capability to a flash drive
4) NOT BULKY
5) Ability to survive 60 degrees C or so inside a vehicle.

I have looked a little and everything I found is kind of ridiculous,
huge in your face things and huge tape recorders, etc.

Any suggestions?

Drive a crappy dirty car. Leave the right rear window rolled down. Get
some McDonald's wrappers and Big Mac cardboard containers and sprinkle the
interior. Put a rolled up baby diaper in the back window filled with some
newspaper stuffing. Put a terrycloth towel over the front seat like it's
covering a hole. Whenever you get out, turn the rearview mirror very askew.
Remove diagonal hubcaps. Smear a little lard on your left rear window, then
dust with fine sand. It will pick up a nice umber tone as it ages.

Works great for me. I've had people throw dollar bills and free car wash
certificates in the open window.
