Tracking device recommendations for a wheelchair used by a husband with dementia

My DH has dementia and significant mobility issues. Although he can still potter about in the house and walk (with a frame) short distances, we have invested in a good quality wheelchair for him for longer outings (eg a recent hospital appointment). I’m very new to the use of a chair but learning, but I’m more concerned about it getting stolen.

Does anyone use a tracking device or similar on a wheelchair and if so, which one? Thank you.

No but I do lock it with a bike lock when I park it.

my DD’s wheelchair was stolen and pushed in front of a car by some teenage lads. Captured on cctv

This is why I want to secure it …. We have a bike lock so might try that.

We use AirTags for DS1’s wheelchair and SN buggies. We use buggy locks as well.
