The Cricket Connects with Other App Users to Locate Stolen Property
Meghan Young — November 20, 2013 — Lifestyle
The Cricket is a promising bike alarm that doesn't just alert a cyclist when his or her property has been stolen, but helps to track it down in as efficient a way as possible. Essentially, users of The Cricket form a community that connects when someone needs help. Since the device that is attached onto the bike can only send out signals within a 150 feet radius, people rely on other users around it to be notified where it could be.
