He wants to be glad nobody saw him, the mate in question is a complete bloody head case who'd probably have shot him.

Another good one was a local boy had a window over the stockroom door of his shop. He got p*ssed off with being broken into so wired the bars over it to 230V
Apparently he had a right collection of hammers, crowbars and ladders the pikeys donated after getting a belt

It's sick that you can't defend your livelihood and property, should be allowed to dangle, strangle, mangle and maim any scum trying to nick owt.

hahaha thats class, electrify the perimeter and have a handful of angry badgers, they are vicious little bleepers.

i think that settles it, im parking next to a new gsxr 750 and bolting it to the floor!

Dont forget, that although you dont see the SV as the most sought after bike, there are loads of people out there who would try and nick it just to make a few quid.

They could be breaking it for spares, track use or just to be a pain in the ass..

The best option, is always bung a lock on the bike.

Saves unneeded hastle further down the line with insurance companies too if it does get taken.

Even though I lock my bike at home, I insure as though I don't. Not had an issue so far, fortunately.

Chap at work had his bike insured for locked and garaged. Before christmas, he was followed home and had his bike nicked from his driveway while he nipped inside the house for a few minutes. Insurance not paying out. Unlucky.

Have not heard the glue in lock scenario before (although it doesn't surprise me), another guy at work leaves a lock there permanently, shall pass on this nugget of info.
