Marz Cycles Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Sorry to hear about this. Violent bike crime is now out of hand all over the country. I've been doing a lot of Googling to find devices for self-protection and to assist recovering stolen bicycles. Most available GPS devices are expensive, have short battery life and require some sort of subscription fee for tracking. Perhaps the most cost effective solution at the moment is DataDot Microdot. Brush on a 1000 near invisible microdots all over your bicycle. A UV reader device will pick up the dots and positively identify the bike or components. Kit available for R449. See: http://datadot.co.za/datadot_buy_for_bicycle.php Thanks Karakoram! I was thinking exactly the same thing regarding "data dots". I am sure there must be a cheaper way of dotting a bicycle which is probable 1/10th the size of a car to make it a cost effective option for a business? Edited August 4, 2014 by Marz Cycles
Bonus Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 You had an alarm, locks, bars (presumably?), were across the road from a police station and had a night time guard on duty . . . . and you got robbed and lost stock. I'm at a loss as to what more you could do :-(Booby traps with piano wire and shotguns perhaps? Marz Cycles 1
