A very good friend of mine has just had his bike stolen. Over a locked 6' gate and then took the shed door off it's hinges. He must have been watched putting the bike away.
Please don't make it easy for the thieving little f@#*ers.
When he sends me a picture I'll put it on the stolen bikes thread. In the meantime if anyone is offered a medium black and grey Spesh Hardrock Sport please let me know.

As somebody said the thing to do is to make it hard enough that they won't bother. Or, as another person told me to make it harder to steal than your neighbours. Which is a bit callous, but the same principle. Make it hard enough that they move along.
I think having security devices that will seriously injure tea leaves should be allowed. If they're not doing wrong they won't get hurt.0 -

Unless it's a kid who's kicked his football over the fence, or the police looking for a thief. "Maybe he's hiding in this shed sarge..." *boom*.0 -

I don't really see a kid looking for a football or the police taking a shed door off it's hinges. I'm not saying blow up anyone that wanders into your garden. Mind you, some of the door to door types....0

someone once told me run 1" wide timber in strips across the bottom of your fence with 4" nails sticking through the wood. throw a bit of carpet over the strips an leave it alone...eventually grass will grow on the carpet so it will be basically invisible. Someone decides to jump over your fence - weight goes onto carpet which pushes nails through carpet an into the tootsies of naughty person.
i've thought about wiring a car ignition coil to my sheds front door, that should wake the swines upKeeping it classy since '830 -
For a garage, how about wiring up the the "T" handle via a transformer. Take down the current and voltage enough to give a rather nasty shock, just enough to be able to hear the high pitched yelp though the triple glazing and above the x factor final. Obviously need to change the opening rods to wooden (or carbon) and have some sort of "fail safe" so you dont grab hold of it while it is live. Maybe unlocking the back door switches it off."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0
