Shed Security

[Ant132]

Some may remember that a while ago my bike was stolen from my shed but fortunately i got it back (the same day - found in local fields) and since then i have tried to beef up on security.

Last night, before i went to bed i happened to notice the shed door looked a little strange like it had been tampered with, so i went to check and found that the two padlock brackets on the door had been snapped and my padlocks were lying on the floor. The only thing that had stopped them from gaining entry was (i assume) one of two things; a) they were disturbed, as it was only quarter to one when i found out and i'd only put the bike away about half seven or b) the 'key-lock' had served its purpose.

There is also no 'door handle' as i don't like the thought of it being used as leverage so i use a removable one. Either way, i want to make my garage as secure as i possibly can, whilst i also appreciate that the most determined thief won't be too deterred.

So today i found out two old metal strips, which i have now used as one on the door and one on the frame, so that when the door is shut i can use a padlock in the drilled holes. Here is what i mean,

The same goes for the middle and bottom of the door. Basically, i just want to know if this is effective enough? What else can i do?

Inside of the shed is a movement sensitive alarm, only a cheap one but it does the job and is hidden from view. Also the bikes are locked together and im going to be making a DIY ground anchor over the next few days but tbh i dont really want the c*nts to get that far.

Advice appreciated as ever

Get a real alarm or get a dummy bell box, the bell box should deter potential fudnut-thiefs (even though they could quickly open it and disconnect the power and battery being at such a low height).

how about a cctv cam? , find out who these people are , as they must be local seeing as it is the 2nd time now.

This sounds a bit like what was happening to a one of my mates a whil back, what we did was about 6 of us left the dor open for a few nights so they could walk past and hink you were getting complacent and but all the while your hidden around the site with paintball gun, worked a treat on the little w@nkers, and their low life mates aswel, as we worked out they were 1 group of cvnts split into about 4 so each was taking it's turn. The beutiful thing about this plan was that the shed was down an alley that opened up into a court yard so when they came in we blocked of the exit and just laid in to them, covering them with paint and bruise's, and if they escaped we could have found them easy enough, as they were all limping and covered in paint lol.

Other than that, I would say get 2 of those garage door things that prevent the door been opened,

one at the top and one at the bottom, also reinforcing the doors with extra bracing would be a good idea, so they can't smash their way through.

I'd go for the top one, because atleast you could catch them, if you choose not to shot them,
