Default Attempted theft of my SV

My neighbour has just told me that on Weds night he chased 2 people off trying to force my Garage door open. They were obviously after my new pride and joy.

It really ****es my off that they think they can just come to my house and take it just because they have seen my on it.

Needless to say the car is now pushing against the garage door, 3 new locks fitted, bike ground anchoured, new alarm fitted with pager etc etc.

Thing that really ****es me off even more is that they will get it if they really want it.

SCUM OF THE EARTH.

Mayeb some improvised CCTV set-up to identify them? Or leave your garage open a crack at night and sit inside with a couple of mates and a baseball bat?

LOL I could just see me forgetting about that and going out to the freezer after "a few" beers.

Leave a message on your bike saying that they have already been spotted and that your neighbour across the street has CCTV pointy directly at your garage and could well have already called the police.

It might not work, but you have nothing to lose.

you can get an alarm for the garage for about £60. You can even get ones that go off inside your house instead of the garage. Remember thieves want a bike, any bike. If yours is obviously going to be a hard steal they know there will be another around the corner and go for that. a few hundred pounds in security (decent chain/s ground anchor) is transferable to every bike you own, and worth every penny.

doesn't take away the fact that they're such little ****s. Nearly always kids too!

Indeed. My garage is wirelessly linked to the house alarm. Anyone opens that door and I'm going to know about it.

I was reading my Datatool S4 manual last night - apparently you can buy a kit to link your garage door up to the S4 - might be an option for you
