What's the best thing to track bike thieves these days? I own 6 bikes (yes one for each type of road I ride ..) and I have never found a good solution?

There’s no point in tracking them. Cops won’t help since the dollar amount is too small and there’s no documentation the bike is yours. You could try to steal it back or intimidate the thieves I suppose, but I personally would not take that approach.
Best solution is to buy a high quality bike lock or two, and don’t store it long term where people can’t see it.
Will police even assist to recover a stolen bike if you have managed to track it?
tile tracker, it's airtag, but doesn't do the stalking warnings if you sign an agreement
I bought my partner a few of those years ago before Google had even announced an intent to get in to the tracker market, and they work great for an individual looking to find their keys in the house, but as far as tracking things in the real world they're significantly less useful because their tracking network is basically only other Tile users who have the app installed and haven't let its permissions expire.
A tag like this is only as strong as its network, and Apple absolutely dominates that with Google a distant second and Samsung still pretending they have a chance in third. Tile isn't even in the competition.
The network has been solid last I checked, no problems in my city
Except you have to use the naff Life360 app.
For tile tracker? it's its own Tile app
paint them so they look undesireable
Doesn't really answer the question that was asked, though.
XY problem
