Yeah... I read that article myself. What was it....... there
MAY have been one or two bicycles removed from sheds in a village in Ireland with the help of route tracking? Like it would have been so difficult to pound the owners heads in with a 2X4 and taken the bikes the old-fashion way?
I'd set aside the worries about the technology. I don't care how "off the grid" you go.... or even if you're armed to the teeth. If someone wants your stuff... they can get it. Less than 3 years ago a local was shot and killed for his pricey bike.
Technology and creative ideas can help make thief less profitable for the crook. Insurance makes the loss easier for the victim.
