How do I make a GPS or Bluetooth tracker for my wallet and keys?
I don't want to order some fuckin 50$ kickstarter tracker and pay 50$ more for overseas shipping.

You don't. Not for a wallet anyway. I don't think technology is there yet.
Consider one of the smallest GPS devices on the market currently would be a cell phone. And it will still be too big to fit in your wallet.

Well, what does /diy/ to find or prevent losing their valuables?

We don't lose our wallets or keys.

A GPS device small enough to be portable is going to have shit for battery life. Measured in hours.

If your dumb ass is losing your keys in your own house, bluetooth tags ~30-100' range are available cheap enough.

This. I lost my wallet once, about 10 years ago now. Left it in a movie theatre. I got it back. Haven't lost it, or my keys, since.

Stay classy /diy/
There are smaller than a mobile devices you plant on your demented grandparents when they go outdoors.
Put SIM card in, text query will send back GPS coordinates.
From my local expensive chemist, about forty dollars. Can surely obtain Chinese crap smaller and cheaper.

Use Tile, surprisingly cheap, you can get it from a tech store, like microcenter

Got a link? I wouldn't mind something like that to hide in a tool box.
I've had things stolen out my van so id like to set something up to nail the bastards because they're coming back all the time.

If you're a Brit larger Lloyd's chemists carry them.
Not got a link cos I didn't read the name of the device, just the blurb about how it works.
Sorry bud!
