Default Re: oxford titan disc lock

they usually use freezer vans, as soon as the doors are closed you can't hear anything anyway. good idea for just leaving outside a shop for 2 minutes but anylonger it needs to be locked to an immoveable object (or atleast it does round these parts!)

Round town and near my house where it isn't too bad I use a cable lock and disk lock combined. When I visit my mate (he's had a 6 attempted vehicle thefts in 3 years living there I'll use the cable and disklock + a chain and if I'm staying over block it in with a car. Then again I can't get theft insurance so I have to look after it!

lol I should!

Well I have technically got theft insurance just I can't afford to claim, as I'm under 21 and have 3 policies and a claim raises all 3 of them and seeing as the bikes only worth like £200 it isn't worth it.
