Security - How much do you spend?

[007XX]

Problem is now days if your puppy bites some asshole who committing a crime on your property the poor beasty gets a bullet and you get prosecuted, and the offender (sorry isn't that alleged offender) gets a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket.

I like my dog so at home if they want anything they can take it, except the dog, take that I go hunting.

Yeah, good point (unfortunately). I mean, I have trained dogs in the past, and so have a fair idea as to how to get mine sorted appropriately, but it's no longer seen as a valid safety net by the law.

Maybe I should get some geese...mean little buggers, and excellent alarm system...Besides, if they get shot, then you got dinner sorted!

Currently got the steering lock and it's chained to a tree in my backyard with the heaviest chains sold by Bunnings Warehouse, can't be seen from the road.

I plan on getting an alarmed disc lock when I can afford it.

That's it.

Security is important for me as I don't have or plan to get insurance (have 3rd party personal only).

Hope its a big tree... nothing a 4X4/tractor could pull over?

The thing that always cracks me up is people spend heaps of money on security measures like chains and expensive padlocks... yet they leave angle grinders and bolt cutters in the garage... the scumbags just use your own tools to steal your bike!

I like your thinking

I like your thinking

Why thank you...the other option would be to have booby traps, but as I have a forgetful 10 year old son, that could become slightly dangerous...

One way to learn though, I guess...

It's a very big tree and they wont be able to do anything without waking a few households up. They don't need a tractor, just a bolt cutter. I need to buy that alarmed disc lock...... every cent I spend on these things is money I don't have for trackdays.......

[ynot slow]

Has an alarm which was on it when bought,in a locked garage(cars are outside)and a nice friendly male alsation with no balls and that just pisses him off

[sunhuntin]

steering lock. thats on 99% of the time when i aint riding. did go into warehouse the other week though. come back out half hour later, and start hunting for my keys... yep, in the ignition!

Disc lock, chain and second lock, locked garage, viscious dog, big stick.

We also live in a neighbourhood with lots of lovely policemen. I'm sure we'll all be quite safe.

[Coldrider]

Gets kept in integral garage, garaged locked at night. That's it. Crime free neighbourhood, where I am the suspect if I wear a beanie.
At work it's parked in a carpark, carpark has camera surveillance. Can park in a swipecard access only lockup, but too much hassle to get in & out, parked with other cretins machines who don't give a toss about scratching others.
Choose not to live like a victim before I am.

When it is ever parked outside, I keep it completely hidden under a shitty looking (and secured) bike cover.

[fergie]

my theory is that all the devices in the world wont help you if somebody wants it badly enough. i keep my insurance up to date and keep my fingers crossed.
