Brixton? Surprised the bike's still there, why don't you move?? No idea how to secure the bits, fat chances.

Wire the metal parts of the bike to the 240V mains supply, unless you can splice it into the 33kV local distribution grid....

Crossbows are cool, police don't like them much.

Get a couple of thunderflashes and wire the pins to a bike cover.

That sucks ... What about one of those garage box, shed type things you can drive into and lock up, I guess its not moveable otherwise I'd suggest hiding for a while at least until ebay free listing has finished.
