Why are the only comments about keys? There are a lot of things you could do with a full year of tracking. Put it inside your bike&#x27;s frame. Bam, you&#x27;ll know where it is if its stolen. Hide it in your car for auto theft deterrent. And, of course, hide it in someone&#x27;s purse and see where they are.<p>Point being, there are three comments, and they&#x27;re all about finding car keys. You people are more creative than this.

It&#x27;s very fishy to me that the three comments about keys are all from new users with this being their first post. Not to mention the extra excitement in the form of an exclamation point.

The iPhone app sends off the ID of a missing device into the cloud.<p>Other devices download a list of &quot;stolen&quot; IDs, and send back a report w&#x2F; GPS info if it ever gets a hit.<p>I love the concept.<p>It just needs such a huge infrastructure to become useful.<p>Maybe an API that other apps could insert, with a way to monetize, such as a reward system?

How does it work? It says no batteries, yet it only works for 1 year?
