Because his possession is in someone elses possession and he doesnt know where it is to fit the tracker to it. Simple really!

be positive, I had ANOTHER vehicle taken (that's 1 car, a mbike and this car all taken within 4 months)2 days before xmas. This time gps tracking had it back in my sight within the hour and a guy arrested.

Hey jsbike.
What did the cops say to you re the GPS tracker! Did you have to twist their arm to come out! Any more info on what charges the alleged offender is facing!
jsbike, Jan 11, 2:28pm
They were good about it given that they have to work in what they can do by law.

After doing a drive-by of the house in question, I parked just down the road, rang the cops and told them the situation and that I had tracked the car to an address but could not see it from the road. They met me out front the address 15-20min later, had a look round but could not see the car so told me that that needed to get a warrant to go on the property as they did not have a lawful reson to enter the property. they went on to say that it could take up to 2 hours to do this and that they could not stay there and wait.

I then asked them if I was able to set the cars horn off would that be enough of a reason to go on property without a warrant. They said it was, so I turned my horn on via text message, they went on the property and found the car behind a garage.

No word yet on what charge/s the guy will face, the cops took my car and 2 other stolen ones found hidden on the property and printed them so chances are more than one person will go down for it.

on the night of 12/13 october 2011 my black 2009 suzuki SV1000S sports bike was stolen from my workshop in papamoa.
the rego number is A6APB,vin JS1BX422300100996,eng no T511-1070

i am offering a $3000 reward for the recovery of the motorbikein a similar condition as to when it was taken.or for information which identifies the offenders and leads to theirprosecution.
any such information received will be treated with the utmost confidentiality

You now have the problem of people making contact. Suggest you start a couple of 50c lollipop auctions so contact can be made.
intrade, Dec 16, 7:54am
why dont you fit gps trackers to your possessions! I have got me one all it needs is enough credit on prepay sim to send sms of its location and gps global position to a phone . So you can go to that location with a loaded shotgun.
that the one i got

Good idea but battery life is only ???Battery Life: 7-10 Days on standby
Be good if the battery could last a lot longer or be wired into the car.
jsbike, Dec 16, 10:06am
battey life is BS, they are lucky to run for 8 hours. they realistically need to be wired to the car/bike battery. versions that wire into the battery are around $150, and have extra features. text you if the main battery is disconnected (they still have an internal battery), text if door opened or motor started etc
vtecintegra, Dec 16, 10:16am
I'm using an old smartphone with tracking software installed as kind of a cheap version of that.

Obviously battery life is an issue and a through enough search of the car would reveal it.
tazcsv, Dec 16, 10:17am
That 3k would have gone along way towards insurance.
angelpie, Dec 16, 11:43am
true, but hindsights a great thing

Im sure Police will find the offenders.
angelpie, Dec 17, 7:32am
we hope so
jsbike, Dec 18, 7:03am
I had my car on TM, 2 guys came to look at it, i got their address as they had a car they wanted swap, I went look at their car, refused a trade. 4 days later my car went missing. had a feeling the guys took it so kept an eye on their place. a week after it went missing i see it up their drive. they got done for receiving (cant prove they actually stole it). also cant prove they funked the paint, cut the springs, stole $800 stuff from out of the car. they got 80 hours community service. expect nothing even if the cops catch someone on your bike.
angelpie, Dec 19, 6:59pm
that was good work on your part getting onto them.no im not expecting miraclesbut 3k could loosen someones mouth.
jsbike, Dec 22, 9:24am
bump. I just got a suzuki fx125 back that was stolen (yes I had a car AND a bike stolen 2 months apart), near no damage luckily, just rode it home.
angelpie, Dec 22, 6:53pm
im not expecting to be that lucky
angelpie, Dec 27, 9:13am
forgot to mention the bike is fitted with 2 round yoshimura aftermarket mufflers and a scott oiler
countrypete, Dec 28, 7:41am
Angelpie, I have arranged for your bike to be listed as stolen in Suzuki NZ's system, and also notified all Suzuki dealers.If it turns up at a dealer or if someone tries to buy parts and quotes the VIN, they will be snapped.They often show up eventually.
