Bike THIEVES around Wellesley Drive area

[PirateJafa]

That shit happens alot, people spitting on the seats is the main one in carparks.

Sounds like you dont get out much and your a mentor

It's your own fault for living in such a shithole. Never seen nor heard of that in Auckland.

Come back when you enter the real world.

The only time anything of the type you listed has happened to me was when I was at rowing training and one of the older guys put tomato sauce on my seat after I had done some shit to his car.

I've done nearly 3000km in the last month on my own bike - I prefer to ride my bike rather than leaving it sitting out in the open in public places.

Whangaparaoa isnt exactly a shithole, kinda high class in some places, Otara is more of a shithole but I tell you what their fried bread on the weekend at the markets is something.

No need for the fuss, it does happen but I guess it hasnt happened to you yet.

Students pissing in a bottle then pouring it on principles gsx750 seat, spitting on it.
Not saying you dont ride alot, 3000ks is a huge amount keep it up.
Anyways forget about it man have a nice day/ride im not here to bitch about it.

soooo...


back to reality, atleast by having an alarm/chain/lock you make your bike less appealing to thieves, just be sure to park next to someone with a more desirable bike and less security

and when insurance and police ask if you had any locks, "I have a cable lock under the pillion seat......" isn't the best answer. I speak from experience

just be sure to park next to someone with a more desirable bike and less security

I'll just park next to you then!

I scored a 10mm through hardened chain with a fancy lock.
bolt cutter will break before getting through and hacksaw is a waste of time as well.
its not listed on their site but for referance:

If they are going to go to this kinda trouble then theres little you can do.
Gas axes, angle grinders and thermic lances aren't the most portable or conspicuous devices, so if its parked in a good spot and chained down, your insurance access should be pretty safe.

yeah, its a simple case.

If they really want to steal your bike, they will, no matter what you do.

But if they think its too much effort they are less likely to do so

note at 1:28 there is a cop car right behind him

Tis a sad thing to read. I guess all I can suggest is to take a friggen HUGE chain and lock with you, and chain your wheels up to something that cant be stolen.

Fuckers

I agree with the part about having a friggen huge chain, but I can think of a better way of using it...
