Re: Bike security
The best possible prevention is the thieves not knowing it is there.... so anything you can do to stop it becoming a target is good. If you live in a slightly marginal area, or even next to a main road with passing traffic, try and avoid leaving the garage door up to long or spending to much time polishing it outside the house......I know we all like to show off our pride and joy, but sometimes the wrong people might take an interest.
If you keep it in a remote garage, for example a council block or similar, then just try to make it as difficult as possible for them to either get at it, or if they do get in to get it out. Lock it to something they can't move, or failing that another bike or similar to make it as difficult as possible, and as has been said don't leave a plentiful supply of appropriate tools conveniently in the garage with it.
There are some really good alarms on the market these days that can either make a lot of noise if they open the door, or notify you on your mobile if there isn't likely to be anybody near enough to hear it (or that bothered if they did).
