I have signed up to Prey which seems a very good and capable tracking system should one lose a phone or laptop but how about the smaller, important things in life like your wallet, keys, even your car?
Has anybody got/tried this latest tracker to hit the market? It looks very good, very reliable and not that expensive.

Looks interesting, but I would like to see some real life user reviews before buying something like that.

I've looked at things like this before and have had 'DOTT' device for the dogs.

They are ok over very short range but if whatever it is you have tagged is out of immediate range you rely on the whole "crowdsourcing" thing. That's fine if it's popular where you lost the thing but otherwise it's pretty useless or that's my experience anyway.
