Macie_UK 0 Posted December 13, 2015 Y anchor and English chain for 1 bike, old van engine block and chain for the other. Dirt bikes chained together, and bikes being worked on on the ramps tend to be in various states of disassembly, so would need boxes to put the bits in. Then the race van in front of the garage, and the caravan in front of that. Chains are mostly pointless as there are grinders/cutters etc inside there too, but it's just about slowing the scum down.Oh, and a slight crazy dog:[/url] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner 0 Posted December 13, 2015 on the subject of grinders in the garage, I change the fuse that protects the garage to a 3 amp when I dont need power in there other than my optimate so if they do plug a grinder in as soon as its started the fuse will blow.

Chadatious 0 Posted December 13, 2015 where i live now we have the cars on the drive then a big iron gate and then a small wooden gate and then the alarmed garage through the side door, havent got alarm on the duke yet though. however where im moving to next week the garage is in the bottom of the house so they would only need to break the garage door open, so im going to get a ground ancor, and a buddy fits tracks for £100 and then £7.50 a month so think thats a way to go. but there is so much theft right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, I'd expect any half decent scumbag to go equipped with at least a cordless grinder, but it's all about stopping the opportunist scrotes and hopefully making the proper bad guys think it's too much hassle and go somewhere else.

fr499y 0 Posted December 14, 2015 As posted the other day, some scum broke the lock on our garage trying to steal the dominator. If the low life scum actually got off there ass and aren't like the rest of us, they might not steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
