Lucky you, enjoy riding her again, sorry I'm useless at electrics.

Too late for this unfortunate gentleman (my condolences) but I have a GPS tracker fitted to one of my vehicles.
It is a SKYTAG and when the vehicle exits it's prescribed zone (an area a few hundred yards from my drive) I receive the following
1. An SMS text message
2 an email
3 a phone call to my home landline (this is important as if it is stolen in the middle of the night I may ignore an email or my mobile but I'll certainly wake up for a landline call)
Of course if I am driving the vehicle I just ignore all three.
If it has been stolen I phone SKYTAG and they tell the police where it is within a few metres.
The vehicle is located automatically every 10 minutes.
So far the system has proved faultless, the monthly monitoring costs 6.99 (10.99 for my level of cover)
Highly recommended
Coming soon from an Ebay seller in Lithuania......
Eat potato, strip stolen bike, sell parts, buy more potato.
There is the presumption that it it is non nationals who are doing all the stealing.
Now I agree there probably are some doing this, but balance of probability is that the majority of thefts are by home grown scumbags.

Apologies for the late follow up but I'm thinking of having this fitted. Are you still happy with performance ?
I said hello to SKYTAG at a campervan show on Saturday.
They have a service called Bikesafe. It's the same device but the unit is set to activate when the ignition is turned off with its key. The unit then triggers an alert based on movement ie when the bike is tampered with or lifted. It is still monitored by a preset zone (usually a few hundred yards from its base).
After two years with my van I am still very pleased with my tracker.
No Myke, there's a seller on eBay from Lithuania who seems to be breaking a lot of bikes. Could be just a coincidence.
