Bike Crime

[PooKer]

So in my area bike theft has been on the up and up. To the point I've considered selling the bike or getting a tracker. But I don't need to worry anymore. Police are going to clamp down on this with..... yep.... Smartwater...

Anyway one of the trackers I've looked at is the Monimoto as a flyer came with my new biking bits and its got a £10 off voucher. Simple to install and running cost seem to be one of the lowest long term.

Anyone else using a tracking system?

GAP, insurance for insurance.... and the longest they can be is what 4 years?

I'd rather recover the bike myself vs the police recovering the bike and adding on fees (police fee's are between £150-300). A lot less painful that dealing with insurance claims, premiums going up etc.
3 year's cost + purchase price for the one I originally looked at plus the other two mentioned are:

Monimoto £242.10 (using 10% off eBay with ghostbikes)
CARLOCK BASIC £264.15
AUTOMATRICS £547.20 (they do pay up to £200 towards police recovery should the worst happen)

Opted for the Monimoto as it'll be easier to hide on the bike.
