GPS Tracker - Spy Bike

Bit of potential in this device for farm bike and quad security, and maybe road bikes.
Its a GPS unit hooked up to a SIM card that phones co-ordinates to a website at set intervals, if the bike is moved after the unit is activated.
If its not you thats moving the bike, you can see where it is on Google Maps on your PC or smartphone.

The unit I bought couple of years ago had some limitations
- bit too big to conceal, and if you did tuck it away out of sight, the GPS reception was compromised
- it was only good for less than 2 days on one battery charge

This one looks better to handle both above problems, plus remote control over when and how to activate, and tracking on Google Maps/Smartphone
price is competitive too, about half what mine listed at, at the time.
I think I paid about $400, and only got it at that because Repco made a mistake in the advertising, was supposed to be $800
they'd pulled the ad, but I had the original on me when I went and enquired and they were good enough to honour the ad and let me have it at cost.

This was back in the time I was fresh from having my shed burgled, padlock chain diamond-sawed, and 4 wheeler, chainsaw, tools etc, nicked
hardly used it in the end, the short charge life rendered the thing near useless,
the inconvenience of having to charge it every day, plus the SIM card expiring, and having to remember yet another phone number
had you almost hoping some bugger would come and pinch the bike and put you out of misery.

So infuriating at the time, how easier if we could just carry a sidearm like in the westerns, shoot the freekin' intruders.
Anyway, my 4 wheeler now is so decrepit it isnt worth pinching
maybe thats the answer.
But its an indictment on society when approaching obsolescence secures you from property theft...
its said security of property is one of the cornerstones of progressive society
those nitwits in the Greens and Labour havent realised that theft of property off "rich pricks" through higher taxes, capital taxes etc, dosent make the poor rich
it just makes everybody poor
even Lithuania and Albania have figured this one out.
