Bike/Garage/Shed Security

[g00ner]

What works? What doesn't? What's been tested and what's failed?

I'm not after making an impregnable fortress, thinking deterrent and making it harder for thieving scum

So far:
Security lights
Alarm maybe?
Noisy disclocks (like the Oxford screamer etc)
Additional locks for the door, like those small corner locks you open with a separate key
Bike chains

What can you recommend? I don't want to be fretting every time I leave the house once (if)I replace the bike

Cheers

If someone wants your bike they will have it. From what you have said, they were pro's. How about an alarm on the garage door and a ground anchor to slow them down. CCTV camera looking down at the front of the garage. A garage door that opens outwards so you can park your car right up against it?

Almax chain and squire ss65 cs padlock and a concrete-in ground anchor .
What type of garage door is it ? Is the garage part of the house ?

[Bianchi]

If the garage is at your house a baby monitor
With sound and camera or web based CCTV
That will call you as soon as the motion censor
It activated and switch on the camera

Proper Ground Anchor.

Extra Garage door locks at least one of which which blocks the door.

And a Proper Alarm System that is linked in with a monitoring station.

Anything else and yer just messing about...

The garage is detached to the side/rear of the house, door is an up and over thin metal one

wotever you decide on and purchase just USE them all the time,out of the folk i know that have had their bikes nicked maybe half of them had ground anchors an big assed chains but they wernt in use at the time of the theft...
i think that after a time an nothin happening folk for woteva reasons stop using the extra chains an anchors especially when the bikes inside a locked garage or shed

i try to think positivily an hope it will never happen to me.......so far so good

I used to have a Snooper SPT200 which sent a warning if the bike, or whatever, moved outwith a pre-set radius. They're about £120 plus get a cheap sim elsewhere. Really good. Here's a sample site selling them

Pretty sure mine was a bit cheaper. Used a Tesco sim with the Snooper as one of my 5p texts, so last for ages. Just call it and it sends back co-ordinates which you can see on Google Maps. Hard wire it to the bike.
