Who's caught a person attempting to steal your bike?

[FruitLooPs]

thats sucks!!, my bike is gaurded by one friendly little fox terrior called bruno..lol he does bark though and take an instant dislike to trespassers.

Nobody has yet got to the bikes, and if they did it would take 3 or 4 people a truck, and good tools to take them. but i still dont let my guard down. -max

I'm probably just overly paranoid but I wouldn't sign stuff off with my name after outlining my bikes security, what bike my neighbor has and the circumstances of coming across someone in detail.

If they did happen to read KB (and I guess it'd make sense if you wanted to knick bikes) and put two and two together I'm sure they would be pleased with all this free info.

Of course thats super remote, but even so giving away details about what bikes you own and security is stuff you probably want kept closer to your heart, especially if some knob is checking your stuff out.

Some of those ones in Alien 2 that automatically fire when they sense movement would be the ticket.

Hmmm, a sentry gun - could be good for burglars & Mormons/Jehovah's Witnesses.

Had a cop suggest to us that we put a bit of black cotton across the drive at night - rig it up to an empty tin can. Costs a whole 60c or whatever and no bastard walks in without you knowing.

Haha it does work a few years ago when i was little, dad thought it'd be fun to make sum burgler traps just like that (I was born making traps). Anyway a week or so after we had made these and set them each night one goes off (Me sleeping through the whole thing), Dad woke up and his window was open and the bugger tried to get in. Dad got his trusty baseball bat out and smashed his fingers! They ran like a pack of chickens and thats the end of the story lol.

They work real well! but make sure someone in the familly isn't a deep sleeper.

A bike mag I had once recommended that if your garage is close enough to your house, buy a cheap baby monitor.

One for the garage and the other sits by your bed. That way if they do manage to get into your garage in the middle
of the night you'll hopefully hear the bastards.

Now days my bike has its own locked garage, is fully insured and gaurded by 2 of the most ferocious border collies in Palmy.

I have a border collie too, he is the one on top...

They are actually a great guard dog, doesn't bark at all till someone turns up. Even though he is soft as, have heard from friends that when we're not home and they turn up he goes feral, and always have the meter readers card left with 'hindered by dog' ticked...

Also, I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile. Knives are good, because they don't make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely we are to use them. Shit 'em right up. Makes it look like we're serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

Or do a Dixon on them...theres enough room in a garage to swing a sword...
Quiet too...

Nice to see someone taking stock of the situation...

Yes he is very huggy. He especially likes to hug ladies legs, after a very big sniff of their rude region. The wife reckons he gets an evil glint in his eye beforehand...

Back on topic (sort of) was walking into the pub years ago and saw a bloke keying a car. Because I am a giant wuss I ran into the bar and asked who owned a blue fairmont in the carpark, bloke stood up and I told him the story. Half the bloody pub ran outside and collared the miscreant, and gave him a hell of a hiding (old school, no kicks to the head bullshit you see now)...

Beautiful to see, nice camaraderie amongst the Holden/Chev/Ford camps that were there, and I'm picking he didn't do it again...
