Hah it was on sale for $200 a couple weeks ago! Anyway,try pricing LoJack and you'll see that even at $250 this isn't bad. I've heard of people using the cell phone thing and I'm sure it works; if they take your bike where there is service, if the phone doesn't die, if the thieves don't look in the trunk, if they can get the phone company to track it fast enough, etc. I've seen this system in use at a dealership I've done some work for. They can set the system up to alert them by email if one of their bikes (they sell to no credit buyers and keep a gps on the bike until paid in full) goes out of a certain area,they can check on it 24/7 to see exactly where it is in real time. He showed me a map of the city and it had "dots" where all their units were.They can even program the system to send them emails at certain times everyday telling them where the bike is. The unit is waterproof and can be hidden on the bike. Oh and if the unit is disconnected from power it sends an email as well.
