It's easy enough to bother Simon Cowell, but it's getting bugged that really raises his ire.

The infamously grouchy judge of "American Idol" recently found a piece of tracking technology attached to the underside of his Bentley Continental, Britain's Daily Mail reports.

"Simon is completely freaked out by this," a source said. "He can't believe someone has gone to so much trouble and expense to monitor his every movement. It's extremely sinister."

The discovery was made after Cowell realized the same motorcyclist had been following him to privately scheduled meetings. Members of Cowell's security team are the ones who found the device.

"He was aware that someone kept turning up a few minutes after he went everywhere. He couldn't work out how that person knew his movements," the source said. "The tracking device was quite sophisticated."

The scandal comes on the heels of Cowell's highly publicized split from girlfriend Terri Seymour. Though he's busy now with his British show "The X Factor," sources say Cowell wants to get to the bottom of this bugging incident.

"It is a hassle he could do without - especially with 'X Factor' in its final stages - but it has to be done," said the source. "But he can't take any chances."

Earlier this year, a piece of listening technology was found beneath a backstage table at the show "Britain's Got Talent." At the time, Cowell noted, "This shows the extent to which people will go to get inside knowledge."
