They will do nothing.

Maybe in the US, I know several cases where stolen bikes were returned and thieves charged in central Europe. I've never lost anything, but had a bike stolen and I'm in fear of having another one stolen. GPS trackers are not a real option for me (monthly fee, high battery consumption, not having an e-bike which would make it easier). These trackers are a great idea and I do get why stalking is an issue. But I'm with the Tile CEO when it comes to other or even better options for stalking. GPS trackers are way more accurate and I assume that swapping them or recharging them is less of a concern in that case.

It's a shame that stalking is a concern. It's a shame that this had to be implemented and effectively breaks the devices use case for most people. But I'm not even mad at Apple or Google, because I also think that it is their responsibility to protect people from being stalked.

Tile is also not an option for me, in Europe pretty much no one uses it. I will still try my luck with Apple and Google/Pebblebee Tags. Does anyone have experience how long it takes until you get notified about a tracker moving with you?
