No. Or at least, no more than you could astrally track a strand of your
own hair or your favorite T-shirt.

The way I see it you leave your "aural signature/fingerprints" all over the
bonded item in much the same way you would something you always carry with
you. In the case of a bonded item, its simply much easier to read.
