I mean, if you take San Francisco for example, there were always old RVs parked under the 13th Street overpass, disassembling piles of bicycles. SF police just don't care at all about property crime. If you have to report a property crime for insurance purposes, they'll blame you. IMO, this directly fuels more and higher levels of crime. If you call them out specifically on bicycle theft, they'll just shrug and say that most bike owners don't record the frame serial number. If this is the case, state law should require that the serial number be submitted to a database upon purchase, but there are obviously incentives for bike shops to push back on this idea. That said, if you want to get a GPS tracker, the options have exploded in the last few years. They're now available concealed within normal looking taillights, or in a tubular form that can be dropped down the seat tube or inserted inside the handlebar.
