With a larger object, you can use a tracker as a deterrent. You get a sticker saying "this object is equipped with a GPS tracker" and a thief may pass on it. But usually this only works if the object in question is large and has countless places to mount the tracker. Place a sticker on a bicycle and realistically where could the tracker be hidden?

Leave the sticker off and your stuff still gets swiped. By the time you get it back it could be damaged, parts could be removed, and so on.
