I have found a really interesting group that was doing cool stuff many years ago, this time they are the Thiefbusters, who put GPS units on bicycles and catch the thieves by tracking them!


Really interesting series from Hungary, it also has english subtitles for you people out there.

It's really interesting to see what can happen to a stolen bicycle

There is also a second season with 5 episodes but I'm not sure if they have english subs. They did the same thing with a laptop and got a fence arrested

Edit: They do have english subs, enjoy

My bike got stolen recently but I stole it back :lol:.

Idiot thieves took my piece of shit bike. It was parked like 100 meters from where it was taken and I found it :mrgreen:. Maybe the thief thought it was a piece of crap too.

What I really like about them is the tactic they are using.

Even if the bicycle isn't that expensive, the GPS equipment that's in there makes the bike more expensive, therefore they can go for legal action.
Master trolling  :mrgreen:

Also what I like that they show their failures, and how this network is built across the country, they got more and more experienced with time.
