I have just caught 2 lads trying to jump my driveway gate to check out my bike this is becoming a regular occurrence now and i dont know what else i can do to secure my bike. I know 1 day soon im going to wake up to it gone. Any bikers on here care to give security suggestions? |

Two foot long metal anchor rods with hoops on the end sunk into concrete with a good chain and lock through them and the wheels.
A big dog
Razor wire on top of fence/gate
A metal shed
CCTV with security light |

Use a good ground anchor and heavy chain that they'd need an angle grinder to get through and use disc locks that have a motion alarm, dirt cheap on eBay, the slightest movement and they let out a high pitched screech. Also take the seat into the house so the fuckers would have nothing to sit on. A good pir light set out of reach too and you could put a chain on your gates too providing they don't just lift off the hinges. |

"Bring it in the house 
Being flippant
I have done this before but it was seriously hard work getting it inside."
What's harder? A new bike or getting it inside ?
Do you have a garden? Buy a shed. Or purpose made bike storage. |

"Report it to the Police.
The police dont care in the slightest they havent got time its not the officers fault though i get that."
If you want a nights sleep to come up with ways to secure it they could do at minimum drive around the area if you have had people on your property - or, don't bother. |

Right it is ground anchored, front and back disk locks a chain through the swing arm to the rear wheel. It has an alarm but no tracker YET. This is the 4th time thwyve been round looking now the gate is chained quite well but im paranoid due to the amount of bike thefts in my area at the moment!! |

It sounds like you're doing pretty much all you can mate, it would be gone by now if they thought they'd be able to take it. Maybe they keep coming back on the off chance you've got complacent and not secured as well as you normally do. You could always try the old Boy Scout trick, tie a length of fishing line to your bike and the other end to your big toe, if you bike moves you get a yank on your toe to wake you up.  |

Disconnect the battery and CDI Unit. Live from mains to one handgrip and neutral from mains to other handgrip, rubber grips will insulate bike but give the towrag trying to nick your bike when he hold both handgrips to push it away a nice shock.
It may not be legal but neither is TWOC. |
