    Default FM Tracking transmiter

    Ok ot our school we have been having a big ipod problem where they are being stolin from peoples backpacks. i wanted to see if someone could make one that can fit in a ipod. i was thinking i would use the back (metle) as a conductor so when some one pickes it up it shuts down and it needs eather to stay constant or have intervals. but i dont know a circuit that will be that small and easy to make... any idias.

    Good idia! but i should say it is not just ipods (but they are most common) but also some cell's. but this would be just for fun as well and if i can do it i can have fun while busting someone :P

    The transmitter, or the antenna itself at least is going to be almost as large as the device itself. Cell phones don't belong in school either.

    Leave the iPods and cell phones at home and pick up a grammar, spelling and punctuation book.

    Good luck
