Re:

Have wondered about these too – don't seem cheap. You'd need something small enough to lodge somewhere inside the frame probably. It would need to be impervious to the elements and have enough power to keep transmitting for quite a while.

Re:

You can get tiny ones that hide in the handlebars, seat post, and frame where they would be protected from the elements- I've seen several kinds under $150.00-you need a smart phone to access them...

If your frame was made from lead they wouldn't work...

I think battery life may be a problem - always on GPS will suck it dry quickly.

Re:

Best option really – don't take your prize possessions out to the streets, even if D-locked to something seemingly immoveable – have them securely locked in a secure lock up at home.

Had a fairly rough stumpy nicked out the back of my car a couple of weeks ago.

Probably in a canal now

Exactly this, only metal or plastic at the end of the day

I had a friend BITD, who would spray all of his bikes flat black everywhere-wheels, cranks, bars, frame. When I first met him, I was walking into a small market, and walked by this apparent POS bike against the wall, when I thought-wait, those are Campy Cranks and brakes under that paint-so I looked closer and met Mike, who owned that particular full campy Raleigh Professional. He also did the same to his first gen Ritchey. Hiding in plain sight...
