I bought an e-bike worth a long penny and an u-lock to match, and the bike got stolen from the front of a busy shopping centre by guys in a van using portable angle grinders. Conveniently the security cameras were not in operation due to a system malfunction. I was inside the centre for about 10 minutes, so a real bummer. Thankfully I had also taken an anti-theft insurance that covered the out of pocket cost of my insurance, so mostly this was an annoyance, but also a valuable lesson.
Next time, stuff some C4 into the seat pole, and hook it up to the speaker leads of an Apple AirTag. If it ever gets stolen, the thieves will get a notification that they are being tracked, and when they try to trigger the AirTag’s speaker to see where it is, it will detonate the C4. And if they just don’t care or haven’t gotten around to it yet, you can do the same from the comfort of your own iPhone.
