    Yup, the more chains and disc locks you have the more time it will take to steal it and the less likely thieves will think it worth the risk getting caught in the act.

    Hello mate

    Look into Almax chain and squire locks. They are pricey but they mean business when it comes to security. This is only good if you can secure it to something solid....anchors, lamp posts. Don't chain it to anything like railings because they will just cut the railings.

    If you go for the chain & anchor route, Make sure the chains aren't too long and try not to rest the locks on the floor instead hang them off higher. This means they can't get purchase or put force on the locks without causing a drama.

    As suggested local council garage might be an idea. You will need to invest in decent locks to secure those garage doors. If you do go that route, make sure you don't draw attention going in and out of garage. It's because of the obvious.

    when I used to live in a flat, I asked the service management company if I could install couple a anchors around the side of the private area of the flat. They were kind enough to let me. Maybe an option??

    If a thieving scum wants your bike then he is going to go for it BUT the idea is to make his life as difficult as possible.

    All the best buddy. Hope you get this security sorted

    I have to agree about the garage doors. Mine had two great big locks,one each side third of the way up. Just over a year ago it was broken into.T he thieves just wrenched the hasps off the wall basically. I was lucky in a way coz they didnt take the bike, think they were just opportunists really, they took all the tools I had though, easy to sell. There were some sheds done locally the same night.
    I have a garage defender anchor type lock and a new door now and feel much safer

    Bloody hell DD!
    It reminds me slightly of My Grandad who had a lock up garage at the end of a quiet street.
    He strategically placed an old cast iron weight from a sash window on top of his Reliant fastened to a piece of rope which was attached to the top of the garage door.
    Theory was the thief would open the door pulling the cast iron weight off the roof hitting him in the face.
    Don't know if it ever hit any thieves but I remember my Grandad sporting an odd black eye or two and a broken rear window! (Last bit not actually true, but I always imagined that happening)

    Blimey DD, that's sound bloody dangerous. Imagine the damage if any of the pellets missed the tealeaf's ankles and whacked the bike's tyres, or worse still, body work. Doesn't bear thinking about.

    Years ago my father in law needed me to pick up something for him from an old friend, when I got there I followed him to his shed to collect said item. as he opened the door wide he said wait there a minute son me being nosey I peared in over his shoulder to see him gathering up the finest fishing type net I have ever seen, it was barely visible even in the daylight hours tied in the net was loads of tiny fishing hooks, it covered the entrance to his man cave and was his own version of security !!! ( ( his own security net so to speak )
    God help anyone that went steaming in there once they'd forced open his locks !!! he thought it would make the toe rag more noticeable in the pub. lol
