Airtag
I placed an Apple AirTag on my bike.
1. I hope never to need it.
2. I don’t think it’s use is foolproof.
It’s replaceable CR2032 battery lasts 1 year, then you replace the battery.
It uses Bluetooth to find random iPhones close by, then those iPhones report it’s location.
So if stolen, the bike/AirTag will only report position if somebody’s iPhone in within Bluetooth range.
Here in San Francisco Bay Area, iPhones are like spiders…. You’re never more than 6’ from one!
For the price of the device, fit and forget (no recharging) and no monthly fee, I thought, why not.
