    May seem a boring subject, but pretty important.

    How do you best protect your toys? It's not an insurance related rant but more of preventing some thieving half wit helping themselves to my hard earnt shining assets gathering in the brick garage with up & over door.

    Thinking of cheap remote fob operated alarm (£20) as noise alert. Maybe camera system with night vision that streams to smart phone (£140) ground anchors for securing bikes to?..... Where do you end?

    I'd be interested in hearing what works for you guys.

    Thanks in advance

    I have very cleverly drained all the oil out of mine so no thief can get away with it :)

    I just leave the key in; if they can’t harvest crops with it they are not interested or know how to drive it in this neck of the woods. I am joking of course; it’s got an alarmed lock and a huge long fcuk off chain routed round both wheels that’s bolted down to an immovable bench.

    Road Angel Bike Trac plus Almax. Bike Trac combines GPS, GSM and RF (not all trackers do) which tracks your bike in vans and when hidden in containers. See current issue of Ride Magazine where reporter follows a bike stashed in a van to its lock-up. Even if it's stolen you've a more than 90% chance of getting the bike back. Road Angel claim a 100% recovery rate. Charlie Borman got his stolen bike back through a Road Angel tracker last year. Costs around £100/year but what you save on insurance and hassle if your pride and joy is nicked is money well spent and ultimately saved. Instant alert if bike is nudged so that by the time the scroats have taken an angle grinder to it, wheeled it down the road on a skateboard or heaved it into a van with scaffolding poles, the chances are highly likely that you and the cops are already on their case.
