Hello Danny. A tracker may be a good idea, but it would need to be small enough not to be noticed by a potential thief. Best advice is not to leave them anywhere where you can’t keep an eye on them.Definatly don’t leave them in your car for any length of time.
Look forward to seeing your set from Dave,Chain it to your arm!
This sounds really goofy but a friend of mine;with whom I have since lost contact, helped a company in Silcon Valley develope a tracker/transmitter used to track whales. It was a small maybe 6"x6" pathc of metal with a thin transmitter and a strong adhesive backing. It worked well enough for whales, but went into mass production when the brewing industry discovered it was ideal for keeping track of beer kegs. The metal keg acted as an antena thus making borrowed or rented stray kegs easier to find. Perhaps if you called a brewery distributor and got one of these, you could place it on an inconspicuous spot on a metal pipe case. As I said, it sounds goofy but it may work.
