    As the thief rides away on his bike POOF.

    or ... how hard would it be to put GPS in a saddle?

    RUDE. I am going to have to websearch for Alarmed Lock.

    Thieves really get to me. I guess I don't understand why they think they are entitled to something you worked for. There are only a few things that make me really angry and that is one of them.

    Pigs ARE lovely creatures Thieves, on the other hand, need their kneecaps broken.

    Just about as hard as it would be for the thief to take it off.

    Even if you installed a tracer inside the seat tube where a thief would be unlikely to look for it, you still have the issue of power. Auto/motorcycle LoJack devices are powered off the vehicle's battery. Add a battery onto a bicycle, and it could weigh more than the U-Lock, plus you have to find a place to put it where the thieves still won't see it.

    Pink, I'm sorry that happened to you. Thieves DO s*ck.
