You’d rather have your broken, abused, possibly in pieces bike instead of a check to replace it? ---

By the time you realize it’s gone chances are they’ve figured out how to disable the GPS. ---

You can only shrink down something so much when it needs it’s own battery and a radio transmitter strong enough to be picked up from the distances needed to be useful in tracking. ---

You can only shrink down something so much when it needs it’s own battery and a radio transmitter strong enough to be picked up from the distances needed to be useful in tracking. A competent car thief can find and disable a LoJack transponder in a matter of minutes. And unless its a car jacking or its stolen right infront of you, it will be disabled well before you can call the police. And thats on a car. Not a lot of places to hide something on a bike, even a stupid bike thief could find it quick. ---

I never did understand why people want their shit back once it’s stolen… I specifically don’t want my shit back… I want the cash to replace or upgrade. ---
