WARNING: theives in enfield area

This morning, Maria's mum went to put the rubbish out and found my bike half uncovered; Some **** has had a look during the night.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR BIKES ARE SECURE; THERE IS A SCUMBAG / GROUP OF SCUMBAGS LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT ITEM TO STEAL!

Although my bike is locked up quite heavily, I'm still worried. What else can I do? We're gonna block the bike right on with the two cars, make sure no-one can get it out.

Even you?

Thing is Matt, depends what sorta level they want to go to, to get at it. Sure the wind hadn't picked it up and off?

Put a disc lock on the back wheel instead of front is my tip. Unless there is a few of them it isn't shifting anyway. But its a lot harder to wheel about a bike from the front.

Thing is mate, if they want it and are good enough they will have it. Set ya alarm if you like for every hour and keep looking out for it. I did when I knew mine was gonna be tried at for a second time, the second night running. My Dad is about as big and as ugly as me, us two chasing two kids down the road **** them up.

Your best bet is to move it somewhere else I'd say. Although blocking it in might work quite well - will show them that a) you've noticed and b) they will see right away they aren't going to get it out, and hopefully won't try anything.

Alternatively it might be that they weren't going to come back - possibly looking for a higher value bike and they needed to lift your cover to look at it?

Our car was broken into outside our house on Christmas Eve. Previously I'd always thought we lived in a safe area, but after that I chance nothing. The bike is chained inside a locked garage with a car parked in front of it so unless you move the car you can't open the door. The tip to put a disc lock on the back's a good one.

I don't think it's legal to leave bare wires with mains voltage flowing

No, you want a very high voltage, with a very low current.
An electric fence energiser can generate 1000-5000 volts, but with a non-lethal current.

They must of took a look seen it was a curvy and left it! or could of been the top box.
All joking aside chain her down lad,if they really wanted it they will get enough people to lift,disk lock and all.

You've just given me an idea

How about chaining ot to one or both of the cars, they certainly aint going to carry it away then are they? Just remember to unchain it before someone drives away !

So they fook your cars as well as your bike?

Yeah, righto.

Yea, I got a chain just to do this.

The cover wouldnt have blown off...it'd take a strong wind to pull it up and over the exhaust, and also to push the mirror in
I know that if someone wants it, really wants it, they'll have it...but this isnt the point; ITS MY DAMN BIKE!!!

Maria's off to a bike shop near her work to get me another alarmed disc-lock; my one dosnt go on the rear disc, but hopefully the motrax one will.

They aint having my bike, not if I can ruddy help it
