gps tracker, yeah alright, powered by what? and you ever tried to get your gps sat nav to work in the house? the clue is in the 's'
you aint picking up satellites in an enclosed 2mm thick alloy / carbon tube.
fail
Actually there is a way of getting GPS to tell you which house to knock on. I dont want to say too much on here as tealeaf ****s might be reading. Security personnel have used as much, and the Police to deal with prolific mobile phone thieves.
GPS bike trackers do work. theya re small enough to go in seat tubes, or or steering stems. The Police use them on bait bikes. They can track the bike inside buildings to within 2 meters, they are that accurate. Some have SIM cards in them too and are activated by SMS. The battery power is an issue yes, once activated you dont have long to find the bike or you have to keep charging them up. And they do work well inside bike frames. Don't assume they are shit because all you have knowledge of is a sat nav app on a smart phone. The SIM card ones also use mobile phone cell site triangulation to help with location accuracy.

is just one example.
Seems to be fake, the text is not alligned with the paper.
Looks like the paper is folded and taped down to me.
..
I think what he is saying is the paper is curved round the tube but the word 'Dear' isn't.
Nice idea but, FWIW it looks fake to me too.
It is centre aligned on the paper.
