Don't lose your bicycle again to theives

How it works

Tired of losing your keys, wallet and phone? Attach the coin-sized TrackR to any item and use the TrackR app to locate it in seconds. Ring your missing item or get a reminder to grab your item before leaving it behind.

It is a great idea the thing is... how far is the reach of the signal, not the same track something that is in your home than if the thing is 50 miles away.

Hmm looks like it does that... this is a product I would buy... put it inside of the frame and good to go. If you find the frame you will find the other parts for sure.

The one thing that I don't like is the battery isn't replaceable so you have to replace the entire thing about every 12 months. Another issue is that Tile openly admits that the data they collect they reserved the right to sell so if privacy of where you go is an issue this might be a deal breaker.

If these were small enough to stick inside the frame it would be relatively cheap insurance, but since they appear only able to attach externally it is easy enough to simply remove the tracker so that limits the appeal.
