attempted theft

am just back in the flat. my neighbour banged on my door about half an hour ago. 6 guys at my bike. they had the cover off and were attempting to lift the bike. he went out with big scary dog that was barking and snarling as he had hit it round the head a few times to make it play??? and a big stick or baseball bat. This is the second time he has done this in as many weeks. think its the first lot back. so just moved bike and chained it to the lamp post. fingers crossed they wont try again.

will phone police to advise in the morning

of course cant sleep now

It's good that you have such an assertive neighbor, make sure to thank him if you haven't already. I would recommend using a really, really thick chain that would require a saw to get through- this will take more time to break and will hopefully gain more attention from neighbors.

theiving little b*st*rds

would like to rip their effing heads off

could all do with neighbours like that

Ah, big dogs are wonderful things.

Assertive neighbours are cool too!

Sounds like chaining to something is the thing to do from now on. I guess there's no chance of siting a ground anchor out there? Lampost's a good chioce though.

glad they weren't successful

My bike too is protected by my neighbours dog

or failing that get a Almax chaiun and padlock combo and then you have yourself a chain that cant be sawed, frozen, smashed or cropped. the only way to cut it is with an angle grinder and lets face it if your neighbour can hear them lifting a bike he will definately hear them with an angle grinder

buy the biggest nastiest dog you can find and chain him to the bike, this should stop them trying again

With an Almax chain... just to be sure.

I think any dog chained to a bike would turn pretty nasty!
