Engadget recently plugged a new bike lock with wifi and GPS capability: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/29/lock8-smart-bike-lock/.
Thoughts? Want one. They are in a kick-starter phase: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lock8/lock8-the-worlds-first-sm....

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
