gps

Cary-based Securus, Inc. makes CatchAThief GPS locators. They are small – only about the size of a matchbox – but they're yielding big results for N.C. State. Police can hide the devices on "bait bikes" and set up a "safe zone." If the bike moves out of that zone, police quickly receive an e-mail or text alert and can track the device online with turn-by-turn directions.
