Seatpost, the one which is in a lamp. I've a quill stem like so many bods on here, so the better hidden stem one ain't an option.
Don't tell the thieves, but I've bunged it up under my saddle behind the black plastic bag I use when it rains.
The light looks a pretty average type, the kind people leave unmolested on their bikes quite a lot. It's got security screws, so maybe the idea is opportunist thieves try and take it, get stuck with the screws and meanwhile you've been alerted by text. If they want the bike, they'll jiggle it while getting the lock off and again, you'll know about it.
I never normally leave my bike more than a few hundred yards away from wherever I am, so this text alert thing is a big plus for me.
