I encourage new ways to prevent bike theft but...

1)Cable lock, we all know how well they secure a bike here in Chicago

2)People ignore car alarms that are a lot louder then any battery operated device will get

3)No back up key lock (never a good idea for an electronic lock)

4)GPS only work with line of sight to the sky, easily defeated
