Why not get that £50(ish) complete Bike Shaped Object from Tesco?
I think it would be important in a test to see if the thieves spotted and removed the tracking device.
I agree... it may be easier on your pocket if you were to just use something horrible and cheap, I would guess that most petty bike theft is not concerned with the look of the bike, some kid who liberates bikes would probably sell a custom track bike or a crappy alu mtb each for a tenner, doesnt matter to them.
Or are you trying to map out a specific bike theft racket that targets track bikes? ie. what areas they're stolen, and where they're brought (chop shop)?
OR maybe i'm missing the point and you're trying to figure out what the best way to track your own stolen bike would be... ahhh... in that case its probably best as the others said to get your friend to ''steal'' it, eh.
