I'm of that mind, too.

Odd thing, though - in another thread, I questioned somebody who'd left a bike unlocked outside a shop, when they'd had another bike nicked from outside the same shop a year earlier. And read another account of how somebody ended up getting a bike nicked outside a chippy. And yet despite all of that, some people either don't bother, or say they don't bother locking their bikes up.

I just don't get it - if you're an enthusiast, up to the point where you join and regularly participate in a website all about bikes, and clearly have an enthusiast's interest in the bikes you own, and then leave them unprotected - what do they think is going to happen?

bikes nicked in our street this week too, my good ones are in the house but I think I up the level of security anyway - I really like the trip wire idea, just inside the shed door

It wouldn't be your fault if they accidentally landed on the garden fork!

the rakes got more prongs - Let's see who can come up with the most "Home Alone" trap

There are loads of mini GPS trackers available, don't know current pricing but less than £100 and a monthly fee.

mehhh..........rake is far cheaper, and has comedic just desserts value.......

Tripwire or summat attached to one of them screamer alarms and a strobe would do the trick nicely.

Or mebbe one of them classic Russian Submarine Klaxons..................EEEHHHRRRRRGAAAAAA-----EEEHHHRRRRRGAAAAAA-----
