Consider attaching bluetooth trackers to valuable items that may be targeted by thieves, such as vehicles, bikes and toolboxes. These compact, low-cost devices link to your phone and can help you identify the location of your belongings if they go missing.

Important: Never try to retrieve a stolen item yourself, even if you can see its location. Instead, report the theft immediately by calling 131 444.
