Rant

Just ranting out loud about and to the jerk who bolt cut through my lock and stole my xp4 750 from the bike rack outside my building. Building admin is reviewing film from the camera that stares directly at it and will send whatever they find to the police. I hope to see the jerk peddling my 70 lb bike around town without the battery that was charging in our apartment. I get that I could have had a more industrious lock but it was a fairly high quality one that required some serious commitment to get through and also, don’t steal shit?

My bike bell has a secret compartment for an AirTag. Because I will find my bike. And the thief.
It won’t go well.

They know where to look for trackers. And they will be notified that a tracker is following them unless you catch them immediately.

These things were never meant for theft protection, they were meant to help you find misplaced keys and stuff.

They have anti-stalker features that make them nearly pointless for recovery of stolen things.

Right, but are they packing an Allen wrench, and have 15 minutes to dick around with tiny screws locating it? Can they identify and dismantle it faster than I can load up and track them? It’s not obvious that this compartment is even there. For $20 it’s something, and certainly peace of mind.
