Do you know what a faraday cage is and what it does? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage. So unless the physics of how faraday cage works has changed recently, how can the claims be met?
No I'm not being a troll, I was naive to be believe sold secure motorcycle chains claims and learnt to my cost.
But remember this stolen Lambo https://metro.co.uk/2017/07/21/lamborghini-mysteriously-vanishes-in-ikea-car-park-after-trip-from-zurich-6795510/ note no mention of the brand of tracker but on a car of that value you would expect the best for insurance cover. Remember how the Lambo was found? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/stolen-lamborghini-worth-ps250-000-miraculously-found-after-it-disappeared-following-epic-600mile-journey-from-london-to-switzerland-a3605681.html with several other exotic cars by an investigator.
The idea is to keep people fully informed, especially as business will alter the truth to sell their product.

The Biketrac uses mobile network, GPS and RF, so even if it loses gps in the back of a van, it has a fighting chance of getting a gps signal or rough cellular location in the time between moving from the van to a shipping container. The police can go out to the last known general location and use an rf receiver to locate the bike to within a few feet. The company have been known to send out a rf receiver with an operator if the police don’t have one. So you are both right the faraday cage stops the gps from acquiring a signal and can block the mobile signal but the rf penetrates the container and can be used to locate the bike if those other methods had enough time in the van to container transfer to give a location close enough (normally a few hundred metres will do for rf triangulation).
Strap on a couple of AirTags (one sacrificial tag under the seat and one properly hidden) and you have reasonable odds of a recovery. -
Ironically that mentions that cell signals can make it out of a faraday cage.

8 year old article, with no mention of a Faraday cage. So your Faraday cage bullshit was a troll.
As for shipping containers, which I mentioned upthread, technology has advanced in the last 8 years. Biketrac trackers are not defeated by shipping containers. But you don't bother to look for up to date info, because you'd rather troll. And you don't bother to differentiate between cheap trackers and Biketrac, because you'd rather troll.
If you gave the subject some serious thought, instead of spreading disinformation for your own amusement, you'd realise that bike thieves need to move the bike to their van, which is a tracking opportunity, then they have to drive the van away, which is also a tracking opportunity. So even if they have access to a nuclear bunker they'll still be tracked.
If you give a damn about the subject you could even look into the recovery process and the arrest rate. If you follow @stolen_london on Twitter or talk to the police or people in the trade you'll discover that the police have such confidence in Biketrac that they actually respond when they get the call from Biketrac, because they know there's a good chance of making an arrest. The end result is a real game changer - people in high risk areas without a garage can actually ride the bike they want, instead of compromising with something piss poor in the hope that thieves will overlook it. I reckon that's a pretty earth shattering development. Biketrac have been ahead of the thieves for several years now. How about we celebrate that and make the most of it while it lasts, instead of spreading ignorance?
