@light_bulbs@mastodon.green Watching/tracking bait bikes is expensive. Once you start, you must never stop, so it’s a permanent ongoing cost, not a one-time thing, because there are always New thieves. Stopping all local thieves means they’ll instead drive in from out-of-town. Let’s say you add trackers, well then they’ll start using shielded (all metal) boxes to hold the bikes in until they can part it out and destroy the trackers. Every bit of this happens today with cars. Amsterdam has a huge theft problem.
