eBay unless you want a subscription mate

It may help you choose one way or another, just update with a bit more information.

If you go with a subscription type tracker they might not tell you where it is if it gets stolen.

A mate had one on a quad that got nicked... got in touch with the tracking company...they knew where it was but wouldn't tell him.

Maybe that was so he couldn't go round and 'negotiate' it's return with the thieves.......

What's the point in that. Unless they have a further "recovery" service that's chargeable of course. I can't imagine the Police have the resources to follow up (or so we are told )

Exactly. It was a total waste of time.
He uses another one now that connects to his phone and gives a position on a map every minute or so it's moving.
If he's using a weed wiper behind the quad, the map shows lines where he's been up and down the field.

The police get a premium for finding tracker vehicles

All of mine including my very expensive or rare cycles have them now

Sounds about right, if there is money in it for them, then they are interested

Ironically, cars are being stolen because toerags are attaching these cheap trackers to desireable vehicles at car shows, leading them to where the car is kept so they can take it in slower time. Ive volunteered to take mine to a local show this year and Im paranoid about this, to the extent where Ive been looking at tracker detectors, but they seem a bit hit and miss. maybe my money is better spent on a decent alarm with a more expensive tracker so I would know where it has gone ( unless of course it disappears into a metal storage container). Its about time corporal punishment/limb removal was introduced for thieving

You have to give them full marks for enterprise, that would never have occurred to me.

If only they would apply themselves to honest endeavour, they could do very well in business.
