I'd guesstimate about 3-8 seconds myself.

And if they throw a thick blanket / quilt over it NOBODY will hear the alarm.

Yeah, I was being generous. Though it does depend what they have to do to move the bike - in my case I wouldn't be surprised if it had taken them 30 seconds, the bike was "wedged" between a car and a hedge, and chained to 50kg or so of concrete, so it wasn't the easiest to drag around. But that's probably more an exception so we can go for 3-8 seconds

Insurance was not the best, but not the worst. And the specific area I'm referring to - Heritage Park - is certainly one of the nicer areas in Tooting Bec.

for sure, i think anyone is gonna jack my bike in London no matter where i park it.

She lives opposite the common.

Its safe they didnt try to brake in although I fell into a very deep sleep at 11ish and then woke up at 7 and thought ROXY!!!! phew... there you are keeping her at the garage at work tonight then off to cadwell for a long week/weekend. When I'm back will try and leave indoors more often if the Mrs will let me. Plenty of back rubs and cups of tea
