We all know thief’s are opportunists, if you choose to leave a high performance / desirable car on an open drive and leave your keys lying around in the house, you are giving any potential car thief a clear opportunity and my point is, is that you are more likely to get it nicked then someone who goes about it differently. I have never said you deserve it, what I did say it don't expect me to synthesize with this apparent fully-comp complacent mentality. |
I keep my bike(s) in my garage. The garage is an integral part of the house & it's wired up to house alarm, my keys are hidden in the house, the road bike is fitted with alarm/immob (cat1) & both bikes are chained up to ground anchors (security approved). Although I'm fully-comp, I hadn't considered myself complacent.
I still feel some sympathy to those that have lost their pride & joy to some lazy thieving scumbag.
Call me a snob, but if you've got a secure garage, isn't it a bit gypo'ish to keep your bike in the house?!!!!
