Don't about your thieves, but here a tracker isn't useful anymore. The first thing they do is park it in covered parking so there is no satellite reception. Then they watch it for a bit to see it wasn't tracked. Then remove the tracker and dismantle at leisure. Funny enough, bike theft isn't common. Its cars, BMWS and bakkies they go for. And often by hijacking with you inside; that way they get the keys and immobiliser as well.
Leaving stuff on a bike? No thanks. I park where I can see it. Here if you stand still long enough they will steal your shadow and the milk out of your tea.
Not sure why they don't steal bikes. They don't ride them I guess, except delivery boys on 125s. And to sell the parts, well the bike community is small and someone selling stolen parts will quickly be traced. Its rare to hear a bike was stolen. Cars often.
