Are you really concerned about scamming a would be thief that wants to steal your ebike? Obviously anyone buying the magnet knows the message is fake.
Made a magnet on zazzle hoping to reduce theft

I saw this when looking at the link to the 529 Garage kit posted above. It is a sticker instead of a magnet.

It's only 30mm magnet. Should be fine.

Nice. I might get a pack of those also.
I have these in my cart.

maybe also less likely to get stolen

Although, I think I'd rather have it be removeable and reusable.maybe also less likely to get stolen

Maybe a sticker with rifle scope crosshairs saying: Go Ahead, Make My Day. Think I'm Kidding? This Is A Setup And I Do This For Fun.

30mm thickness? Perhaps you meant 3mm? CN

Somebody missed a decimal point.

i don't know what the dimensions of the magnet have to do with whether it will mess with your phone memory. The power of the magnet and the proximity to the phone are what's important.
What does 30mm of magnetic material mean anyway? Is the magnet 1.2 inches thick? Is mm also an abbreviation for some unit of magnetic power?
Aside from all that, I'd rather have a magnet that says, "Touch this bike and you will be immediately vaporized by the Jewish Space Lasers." Bound to be more effective....

Pretty easy to edit the design to say anything you want.

So, what is a Tm and how does it relate to 30mm of magnetic material? Tm is surely not Terameters. 200 terameters is 12 billion miles and what does that have to do with magnetic power??

The T stands for Tesla and has to do with the measurement of magnetic field strength. Have no idea if mm is a magnetic measurement or misprint on the item description.
teslas
The International System unit for measuring magnetism is the tesla which measures something called the magnetic flux density, but teslas are only really useful for measuring very large magnetic fields. A more suitable way to measure smaller magnetic fields is to use the unit gauss. One tesla equals 10,000 gauss.

I looked that up too, but it still doesn't answer the questions, what is a Tm and what does "30mm of magnetic material" mean? Furthermore, other than you think "it should be fine", why should anyone trust this thing near their phone? My test would be if it's strong enough to stick to my bike it's too strong to be near my phone, but that's no more scientific than your approach....

Got one on the way. Will post a video and try to depict magnet strength and phone safety.
