I've got some oiks snooping about down our back driveway,according to the neighbour 4 doors down who see em last night.It's funny cos the dog woofed during the night too.I thought she was dreaming.She even runs in her sleep hilarious to watch though.Ain't taking no chances so I've made space in my shop below this evening so the blade can stay there during the cold months.It's got a blanket under the breathable cover so she don't get knocked about etc.And if they want it that bad they can break into the shop then the dog can have an early dinner!
Yes mate Under a car port locked with 3 different chains to the uprights.2 disc locks and a D lock through the cover. The cover has been moved cos it was tight over the back wheel.
Its that time of the year .We had a £60.000 Telehandler nicked 3 weeks ago from a site in Timperley which is not a rough area it was replaced and nicked again 3 days later this time found 5 miles away due to having a tracker fitted .So remember a couple of padlocks won't make one scrape of differance.
I had my brand new Rossi replica R1 nicked 2 years ago. It was parked up on the kerb outside my dad's flat in London. It was deliberately parked beneath and in shot of a high tec CCTV system. The bike was fitted with the latest datatool alarm system which was on as was the steering lock. When I returned from the pub about 3 pm my then pride and joy was gone. I sourced the CCTV and watched in disbelief as I saw the two thieves pull up on a moped 3 hours earlier. The main suspect walked alongside the bike held it upright off the stand and with one kick of the handlebars broke the steering lock. He then went down on one knee fiddled around somewhere beneath the seat for a few seconds. He then wheeled the bike off the kerb, started it and rode away. The whole thing took 23 seconds from start to finish. Further scrutiny of the CCTV revealed two guys looking at the bike a couple of days earlier, it looked as if they were discussing getting it off the pavement whilst avoiding my dad's car which was partially blocking it in. As you can imagine I was gutted. Needless to say the bike was never seen again. I now don't bother with an alarm system on the blade - not even a deterrent to the professional bike thief, let alone a means of prevention. The reduction in the insurance premium does not outweigh the cost of having an alarm installed. In my book it's false economy. Mick (not bitter and twisted at all)
Chopping their hands or fingers off is the only way you know who you're dealing with when you meet them ie shake their hand.
When i got to site this Morning the gates were open and 15 packs of cavity insulation and a very heavy metal strongbox with all the joiners tools has gone (Great end to the working year.)
I agree with Blade. no alarm on mine either, cost-v-insurance saving and not stopping a tea leaf doesn’t balance. In lock garage with CCTV coverage. 2 Fcuk off chains and alarmed disc lock for me. Having said that, it they want it they will still have it.
