Don't know where this should go. Mods feel free to move it if needed.

This is in Toronto but thought it would be worth seeing.

the best tip of the article -

"Don't lend your bike to people you don't know. They may not ride it back."

I looked into buying a GPS tracking device similar to the ones biologists
use to track dolphins, birds and such. They're very small (AA battery size),
but they come w/ a huge price tag...$3000.00. They are small enough to
put in your seat tube, or stuffed up the downtube from the BB shell.

But man, $3000.00!!!

I'm looking for schemtaics to see if I could make one myself. I'd be kind of
nice if you got your bike stolen to just point the cops to the address it's
sitting at.
