Bastards!!!! Woke up about 2am with very vivid images of coming home and finding the front door open with the locks busted off    .

  Oh well at least you didn't do this to your self in ya dreams Graeme.. 

10) Another deterrent for would be thieves images/adverts of passed shed transgressors.

he ran all the way back to his own house dickhead only lived 3 houses up the road

Yeah mate was growing a little personnel consumption and the thieves left a trail of leaves two doors up and straight down the hall. 

Nothing gets your attention more than a couple of Coffin Cheaters popping by your bedroom at midnight for a talk. They told the guy they didn't want to beat him up but it was a question of principle 

[All Things 414]

any disc locks in particular you find good for teh dirt bikes 414?

These are what I use on mine. Made by Xena. As I say, you may have to carve some off the edge to get then to fit on a sprocket. Even if I've got the bikes sitting out in the yard or at a race meeting, I pop them on. 

[TT]

I haven't got much of real value in there, but I take a few simple precautions, which I hope are enough to deter the little bastards.
1. A simply piece of RHS through the 2 sliding garage doors with a combination lock on it.
2. Even if they get the door open, I wish them luck getting any bikes past this lot. 


My garage is an extension of the carport which is an extension of the house, so that helps too.

I see your into Audis Tony.....

nice pic of someone's  foot vmx247,FORK that must of hurt,was that the result of kick starting the 1st ever rt1mxer that broke cases/shafts idler gears my neibour done the farm had his new dt230 pinched minus the back wheel which was in getting a puntcher repair,because he let yam bike shop know of this when the thiefs went in to buy the parts to replace the missing wheel they got sprung.they knew it was there because we are half a kay off of highway #1 and it's easy to see from the road whilst traveling past that's why i run old shitter's that dont look flash when i go and do my daily flock around my long/dirt track when im down there and leave the good bikes outa sight and chained up.another way to keep your hardly used bike is take the motor out and store it somewhere else after all rollers arent worth much compered to the complete bike and more twoies arnt held in with too many bolts

[SAABCOMBI]

YOU COULD ALSO USE A CANON LOADED UP, FULL WITH ALLEN`S RASPBERRY WITH A STRING ATTACHED TO THE ROLLER DOOR, WHEN ITS LIFTED " WHAMO " ITS AMAZING WHAT A FACE LOOKS LIKE WHEN HIT BY A RASPBERRY, HE WON`T BE HANGING AROUND LOLLY SHOPS FOR A LONG TIME.

Locked em up 

[Toolboy]

Living in Alice Springs the locals would walk around with hacksaws to cut chains an locks, no store would ever sell them boltcutters..

I had a shed full of bikes an quads and always removed the rear wheel with the axle bolt stashed away, if they can carry a bike away good luck.

Now i live on the sunny coast in an area full of old victorian retirees,,hahaha, so now i just have a padlock in the rear sprocket and a good lock on the garage door.

RIGHT!THATS IT! VMX, you're the lucky one I'm gonna ask....I see 'bump' used regularly and I admit that I can't work out what it means.  The shame,oh the shame.....

[Nathan S]

Bumping a thread back up to the top of the list. Basically bringing it back to people's attention.

Landscaping around the house can also help the thieves out.  Tall bushes and shrubs are great for your privacy but also great for the would bes to hide behind while they sneak around your front yard.  There are plenty of prickle type plants that can be placed about which give you the privacy and make it extra special for a would be sneaking about in your garden.  Although not recomended by me a native plant the Gympi Gympi (Nettles on roids) would also be fun to have, not so good for your kids and pets though.

Very nasty work and much deserving for motorcycle thieves.

There has been a spate(love that media headline only word) of dirt bike and bike thefts here in Newcastle. In one instance the dog was baited :'( Most of the bikes were in secure locations with alarms, chains, lights camera's you name it. Out of all of the thefts ONLY 2 bikes were insured hence the engine and frame numbers recorded. So 10) Record frame and engine numbers 11) if your selling a bike insure it even if it is a cover note.
