tone Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Police not interested with malc's they said not interested in anything stolen from sheds or garages.....what message does that send out to the scum bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gez Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I would be gutted for anybody to lose their bikes to scum bag,s, but for it to happen to such a nice bloke like malcolm that I,m sure many of you have known through years nationally, it really p,s me off. Please keep your eyes peeled, can,t be that many 2008 250 Gas Gas,s at the moment, let us know, more chance of us doing something the police. Thanks. Gez. LOOK AFTER YOUR OWN BIKES THEY ARE NEVER TO SAFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 THE ADDICT: I would seriously think about moving your bikes somewhere else for a while, judging by what i keep reading on enduro forums the scum ALWAYS come back for another go.

asc Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 i usually take out the back wheel and keep it in the house. on a more positive note two local lads on stolen motocrossers recently had a head on. one dead the other brain damaged. maybe there is a god,don't like to sound horrible but i've lost a lot of bikes and so have quite a lot of my friends.

scorpa3 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 One of my work mates had his Raptor Quad taken from his garage, the following day the poilice spotted it on the road and gave chase at high speed. The young man riding the quad lost control and hit another car and was serioulsy injured. 12 months on he is still on a life support machine in hospital and his parents are suing the police for engaging in a prolonged high speed chase. What is the world coming to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have now fitted better locks and more lights around the area and getting another alarm tomorrow. I'm not to worried about the night now as they would make a huge amount of noise trying to get in and I will hear that no problem,been a little slack with security up untill now but if you knew where I lived you wouldnt be surprised. Daytime is the iffy point,ok for the next couple of weeks as someone will be here during the day so I think I am going to make a porch like setup on the workshop (2 doors to go through) and turn the second door so it faces the house. I am also experimenting with wiring the door handle to a electric fence energiser,wont kill the ****ers but will give them a 8-9000 volts wake up call if the handle gets touched,should be easy to set up just got to remember myself. Looking increasingly like I might have to take the bike with me to work everyday,be a right pain, but cant chance leaving it at home.

scorpa3 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Then attach a wire to a large suspended bucket of tar and feathers right over their heads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 nice one Pete, i recon the energiser will work nice, I used to do a fair bit of permanent electric fencing and had many a jolt off a wire, it aint pleasant but does no damage and I can assure you,you wouldnt put ya hand on the door a second time. Me and Dad still got our money on it being Ralph trying to pinch my bike after his extended go on Dads 4rt last thursday, once wired up I will get some pics of the set-up and possibly a short vid of Ralph trying the handle (I wont tell him before hand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
