I'm sorry to hear of anyone who loses a bike to thieving scum, but there is a way of helping ourselves.
There are now plenty of GPS/GSM tracking devices available starting from under £40. You hide the device somewhere in your bike and it can be configured to send you a text message if it's moved and keep sending its location.
Apparently their use is becoming quite common so thieves often leave a newly stolen vehicle in a public place for a day or two to see if its recovered before moving it to their own premises.
A couple of years ago these devices were several hundred pounds, but I think for £40 or £50 they are well worth considering.
If you are thinking of buying one I suggest you look for the following features.
Can be wired into the vehicle battery as well as having its own power.
Uses GPS and GSM location technology
Supports Geo-fencing
