    Anyone see this programme on BBC last night. They were looking at ideas to prevent sheep rustling in the UK. Came up a with bolus containing a Bluetooth transmitter. This could be picked up with any smart phone. Seemed like a good idea.

    I think the idea was, if stolen sheep showed up at a mart or factory, they would be picked up straight away on the Bluetooth app. Could be picked up from a bigger distance, I guess.
