I have always had an idea of putting a GPS or lojack type device inside a gun safe or cabinet, in the event that the entire safe gets stolen. This way you'd know exactly where it was taken, and could hopefully get a full recovery.

So I stumbled across this:

They also look small enough to actually fit inside a buttstock of a rifle, depending on the type of stock you have.

It's a bit pricey to consider putting on each rifle, but it could definitely be something to throw in the safe, cabinet, vehicle, etc.

Of course you have to pay a monthly fee, which sucks, but it's not too expensive.

Just something to consider.

I would put it inside the buttstock of a random AR. You can pretty much bet that where it goes is where the rest did as well :evil: Set the "zones" to your yard and just remember to place it in a diffrent gun when you leave for the range.

are you really going to take it out and recharge it every 5 days?? a dead locator won't do much good.. and will it work through a thick ass safe??

Ahh cheating spouse trackers :D

Probably a lot cheaper than a P.I.

need to do a bit more reading, but that look exactly like what I want for Tate. He's 3, has down syndrome, and tries escapes from the house. I have to keep all doors locked to keep him in.

Just thinking out loud here, but if the intent is to notify you in the event of a theft of your entire safe, I'd think setting up something that as soon as the safe is moved - it trips 2 things:

1. notifies you by thr web, email, cell phone, etc.
2. activates a GPS tracking device of some kind inside the safe.


How about hacking into a cheap cell phone with GPS tracking on the service? Might be as cheap as $5 or $10 a month on your current cell bill, and you set it to trigger teh tracking feature with a trip wire from the safe being moved.

what's the difference between the dog tracker and the normal tracker? packaging? a collar?

Hey Mo, they make a nice one your kid wears like a watch. Web tracking and all that jazz. My oldest is 12 and Autistic, for a time was considering one.

I don't have the info now but I'm sure the wife remembers it. If you would like me to try and find let me know. :)
