Bike thieves are evil. I hope your kidnapped bike makes its way home to you.

Maybe not. Have you ever uploaded any workouts to an online log? I upload all my stuff to RunningAHEAD.com (uses the Garmin Communicator plug-in). When I do so the uploader logs the serial # on my Garmin every time. Perhaps there is some way that Garmin can recognize where your Garmin is if the thief turns it on. I've heard of stolen cars being recovered when there is a GPS-enabled cell-phone within the car. If you know the serial # of your Garmin unit it doesn't seem to me all that impossible that your bike could be tracked-down with that info. Originally Posted by maillotpois

Sorry to hear about your bike MP.
It is such a beauty and I know you have had some wonderful adventures together.
I will keep my fingers crossed that she turns up for you.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Tracking
My friend was telling me about this device in her car (BMW) that they hide in the undercarriage so that if the car is stolen, they can track it--it greatly increases the chances of recovery :P
Maybe they could do that for bikes They could attach it in a non-accessible spot inside the frame
