Some kunt stole my gear lever

[HungusMaximist]

Time to invest in some high tensile chains and good quality padlocks guys

Nothing beats a thick chain or a reasonably thick cable lock, and yes it's a bitch to carrying around but totally worth it if it's gonna deter the thieving scums.

I wouldn't really count too much on a alarm or a immobilizer, if they want it, they'll just wheel it away or into a van. Locking to something stationary is really the only way to go or if you have the luxury, get em all!

It seems strange to steal one of the most rugged bike in the carpark, unless of course they wanted a vfr.

I bet Rob's glad he didnt arrive before Andrew, cause i sure know which bike i'd choose out of the two.

Well, they sure as shit dont steal them for the cosmetic bits now do they....

think motor.

Its supply and demand.

stealing to order...or what is needed often...

Time to invest in some high tensile chains and good quality padlocks guys, my geuss is bike thefts will become more common, ask security if they have a spare camera they can set up to watch the bikes with, if they cant do that then all chip in and go to DSE and buy one that you can hook into the system. spend a few hundred dollars now, is cheaper than replacing a bike latter.

Or you could all like you know, use disc locks so they cannot roll them, they are only $30, a tank of gas, to keep your bike, sounds like a plan.

They may be stealing it for the motor, but i would bet they would be more than happy to sell some nice fairings and a sweet pipe setup as well for some extra cash. There will always be a need for comestic bits since we all know they are usually the first to hit the gound in a crash.

Ive heard of people successfully pushing a bike with a disklock on. would be hard work, but do-able. A disk alarm would be better.

+1 ...or have ewen hangin round the bikes in lycra to deter the thieves

[skidMark]

Why do they have to pick on the poor students?
Fucking pricks.

Brecause you are easy pickings....

Hmm one less tank of gas.... to get a disc lock...or 500-1500 excess

[Squiggles]

i think this calls for aftermarket rearsets

theres what, at least 30 of us that park in there? I'd be willing to pitch in my amount to get like 2-3 camera's that watch the areas that our bikes park

good idea

will see what i can do..... thinking an AUSA grant application to set up some cameras; 1 by engineering, 3-4 along symonds and 2 in CP36 and maybe a few around the other spots (law, HS, architecture)

if unsafe wants them they can pay for them. if they disagree well tough shit because if they were doing their job properly there would already be cameras up

[Winston001]

I feel for you guys, I was a student myself at one time and having your bike stolen would be gutting.

Cameras are fine, they may deter thieves. However I think a general purpose security is more useful.

A mate of mine has an electronic disc-lock which I think cost $115. Sounds expensive but you can hardly touch the bike without the alarm going off. A disk lock by itself won't deter thieves - put the front wheel on a skateboard. So an alarm doubles the protection.

hoping if they do still nick things we can at least get a good idea of time and method, if not a face/number plate

100db baby watch those theiving ears burn!

[Real_Wolf]

the camera's would at least help, as solid evidence, for if a bike is stolen.

You'd only need them over the exits, but so that their watching in from the exits so you can see them mess with the bike if its within sight.

Either way, with the number of people, surely each one could donate $20, and some electronics savvy person could hook them up for us if unisafe won't provide

fukken saved to watchlist!

and check out this one: 110dB

XN15: Simple to use, easy to carry comes with a carry pouch that can fit in your pocket or under your seat. Emits a warning beep if you move your bike to remind you that its there so it makes it hard to ride off with it on the bike.
Scare people away from your bike if they bump it or try and sit on it the alarm will go off then after 15 seconds if they have left it alone it resets ready for next time.

perfect for symonds street parking

little shits, put some rottweilers around the area who are trained to eat people who are not wearing helmets
