For example, most countries require foreigners to register, and hotels do this for you. In 3 years and many countries (including my last trip to Prague), I have not had a hotel refuse my US passport card.

Yes, they have this right but they won’t do it unless they have a reason. Just be sure you always have a valid ticket for the public transport and this shouldn’t be an issue at all. Also, normally nobody asks you for an ID in a pub or bar.

That’s where a tracker might help, though personally I wouldn’t take on any thief - you don’t know what they might be carrying.
