Stolen CR80

[Doc]

sorry to hear this news Hilly. I'll have to keep tabs and a list of numbers and details of this 5 fingered property in my 'new' wallet I'd reckon so 1 can sus anything suspicious. DJ will tell you the dog thing works. We have littlies here and the dog loves them to pieces but strangers beware..things can get ugly in a nano second. I'm investing in some new locks today and the first thing to be hidden will be anything that can cut them

I'm more than pissed off with these dicks. First Peters Husky and now Hillys daughters pride and joy. I've been broken into myself and was extremely "lucky" to only lose my tools and some parts. They tried to get two of my Maicos but were blocked by my wheelless Jag and my locked ute. Given a bit more time they would have moved the ute and succeeded. They had built a rough ramp from milk crates and my loading ramp to push the bikes over the top of the Jag but the barking dog next door must have spooked them. They were so close. Not only would I have lost at least two bikes, they would have rooted my precious Jag doing it.
I'd forgotten to lock the garage and earlier in the day had been working on the bikes with the door open for anybody to see in so I had made it pretty easy for them. The first and most obvious thing is to always make sure the shed is locked. Immobilise your bikes in some way (removing the wheels is a good start) and don't let passing traffic see inside. If the pricks really want something bad enough and if they are good at their "trade" they'll get what they want but we should do everything we can to make it harder for them.

Hilly, sorry to here about your daughter's bike being stolen, i know how you feel. I guess we just have to be more vigilant with security of our bikes. Peter

Doc your right about your dog,  Myself and TMBill called around very late the night before we were going to the airport and "Buster" had us bailed up growling and barking, not even TMBill with his one liners was going to distract him from his duties. I have a dog myself and you know when someone is hanging around that shouldnt be, even though she would never bite or hurt anyone she does give warning barks that someone is there and that is enough for me to take a look or for my neighbours to take a glance over.

Sorry to hear about the little 80.hope its just down the road.

NOT MUCH DIFFERENT HERE IN THE USA---have had to resort to chaining the tm/rm/sl/collection  as one big group--inside a locked covered window barn--with dog--now with my luck the damn barn will catch fire and the firemen will not have time to cut the chains---at least here we kinda know the problem (part of it)--the low life people that need to support their habits--but some one needs to buy this stolen stuff for the needed cash--and in my eyes they are just as guilty !!!--and this will happen to me while i am at work busting to keep my toys-!!! just does not seem fair..good luck in the recovery mission --buzzymx45

That's a bummer Hilly, you should consider a good dog, not all big dogs are vicious & untrustworthy.
Our own Neo-mastiff is gentle as with us but you wouldn't want to cross her.
A German Shepard pup can become good family-guard dogs

Yeah i had mastiff X hunting dogs no one ever tried them on . But after a rottwieler just missed tearing my daughters face as we were standing next to it .The grief is not worth it .My little spaniel would have barked her head off but nobody heard it or bothered looking . A sign of the times unfortunately.

YZ hilly , I have spread the word to our dealrs in your area . Because of the destroked shock it has to surface at some point somewhere to get lenghtened again. Cheers Walter

Sorry to hear of another theft, it just makes me realize how lucky & stupid I am as I have four bikes under the house that could be just wheeled down the driveway but I must admit the area I live has a very low crime rate as we never lock the house & at times take of for the day leaving the joint wide open, considering the value of some of the machines I have I think I'll take this as a warning & get a bit smarter Cheers

[yzhilly]

Thanks everyone ,and Bingil get a coated wire cable and lock em up . It's not a nice feeling to know the pricks have been in my shed .But the local detectives have contacted me and are on the case so hopefully we might be lucky .Good thinking walter thanks.

[Hoony]

where do you get them cables hilly i think i better invest for the Red House!

[yzhilly]

Brad 090 had the best one i have seen it was about 3/4 " and plastic coated and the bike shops are selling them now . Or nobles on the south gippy highway in Dandy would make one ,not sure about the price . I had one given to me by a supplier unfortunately it had the other 10 bikes hooked up to it and not the CR

IF YOU WANT THE RUBBED COATED CABLE GO TO BUNNINGS THE BIKE STORES ARE DOUBLE THE PRICE

[Hoony]

caps do bunnings have long ones to go through 4 bikes or so ?
