Thieves who know what they are doing will have a tracker disabled in no time. Not many places you can hide one on a bike. I aren't fitting one to mine.
92 percent of thieves don't then based on recovery rates last year.

Not that I'm aware of. I believe its wi-fi.
I was just wondering because they are detecting them quickly and removing them it must be more than luck
They use phone signal equivalent (cellular) and gps, so two methods of communicating. Nothing is direct to your phone from the device, it's communicating to a central portal that you subsequently connect to to track etc. That's my understanding anyway.
There does appear to be devices online to detect the signals , but they aren't cheap.
Selling the bikes/bits will soon cover the cost of the scanner for these people

Every reader of this post will have that sinking feeling. One question though, you said the cctv filmed the van. Did it get the number plate or was the van stolen too?
It s all a matter of where it is placed
It can ne detected but it has to be put in a place where there is too much work to be done to remove it!
Here lies the problem...size. The smallest I come across is the size of a small box of matches, but the battery will last only 72 hours. It was recommended by a security company, but has mixed reviews...

Anyone see BBC inside out last night?They did a piece about the theft of land rover defenders ,2nd most stolen car in the UK, mostly being shipped to Africa. They also mentioned the high end ranger rovers stolen to order.one range rover dealer was showing what he called a magic wand about the size of a mobile phone that emits a tone that changes when it is near the tracker location .Even the factory fitted ones were sniffed out and apparently the thief's can block the signal until they can remove tracker in a secure location .vehicle then shipped abroad, they showed police recovering some range rovers in containers in the UK and in Africa. One small crumb of comfort was that this dealer has come up with a very small tracker that is undetectable, for obvious reasons he would not discuss it in detail but it could be hidden anywhere on the vehicle. Now whether any body would develop something for bikes is another question but shows its technically possible.

Or am I missing something?
Yeah sure it would work on a bike but sounds like they are not on general sale dealer developed it and probably charges plenty of wedge to install on range rover etc. If he knew about the gs market he'd probably get plenty of customersSurely if its ok for cars, then it will track a bike being moved? Or am I missing something?
Any word from the insurance company, OP?
Lots of word from the insurance company....but no money whatsoever!!
They are trying to prove me ineligible for the claim in any possible way!
It ll be a looooong fight...
Very close to call the obudsman.. it s a matter of days but these guys are abusing of my patience!!
And the idea i wont be able to buy another gs makes me sick!!! So i ll fight them with everything i got!!
Keep you posted
