Good anti-theft GPS tracker for bike?

Hi All,
I'm just about to have a new bike delivered after several months without one due to it being stolen. I wanted to get a GPS tracker, but I've heard thieves simply shake the frame to check for these and they either rattle or come loose. I'm after one that will stick securely to the bike and won't come loose with shaking. Ideally I'd glue it to the frame but you have to remove them to charge them up.
The last bike was the 3rd I've had stolen. I'm set for locks and am going to uglify, but I want a tracker too. I hated the helplessness the last time it was pinched under my nose. I had the police on site within 10mins but even with cctv it was still a needle in a haystack in the city.

A GPS tracker is not an "Anti theft" device. It is only of any possible use once the bike has been stolen.
The only anti theft system that works is to make your bike more difficult to steal and less desirable than the others nearby. The thief will always take the easiest option.0 -
@guernseydonkey I know it doesn't stop theft. I'm talking about it being useful in dealing with theft. Thanks.0

I don't think there is one. Maybe mark your garage / shed with signs that you use smart water ?0
