12 of us in our group, riding for 10 years, all keep our bikes in the house, non of use have ever had one taken...

Draw your own conclusions Einstein.

Fair comment and glad it works for you, but, not everyone is in the lucky position to be able to keep their bike in the house. So it's a little harsh to say that people keeping a bike in a locked garage will never learn.

I think youll find it may well impact on your house insurance if you declare it! The bike should have no fuel in it what so ever!In my humble opinion, the offenders that are committing this sort of theft are quite prepared to enter your house to take the keys, so why not your bike! All you do is end up with the potential of a serious confrontation that could hurt!

Good point there Andy. My garage is integral to the house and to comply with building regs it has fireproof structure i.e. ceiling. I believe the regs refer to 1hour fire resistance and building insurance would demand same because effectively your front room has become a garage.
