As per title, anyone had any experience with them? Had 6 bikes stolen the other day, want to make sure I can get them all back next time.

Thanks

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

Thread here but I'm afraid we're still some way off a decent solution. Feel free to email me if you want some honest advice.

As per above a GPS tag is not going to be much use, poor battery life, poor signal, overlap of addresses on a vector for example the tag could show a block of fifty flats as one location. Some of the big sim card based wired in stuff is not bad in big things like cars but small stuff in small things such as bikes or boxes is nowhere near as good

I have a Spot Trace on the motorbike but I'm not sure it would be worth it on my bikes for the same reasons as above - too easy to hide in a cupboard.
