2. Be vigilant with your valuables

GPS trackers can be used to locate the whereabouts of stolen goods, enabling you to recover it immediately. In addition, asset trackers can be attached to valuables while they are on the move – micro trackers, for example, are small enough to be concealed without causing any damage to your items.
