My first bike stolen. What to do next

[Grubscrew]

As a locking device: a rod of steel inside a thickish tube. When the grinder hits the inner rod it spins, generally off centre and chews up the the grinding disc.
Just need the time to develop a small enough unit to attach to a bike.
The other thing also worth including in this set up is a granular substance, ie granite clippings inside a tube , say, as soon as a metal cutting disc hits any form of masonry it ruins the disc. This would halt the cutting process dead.
Any one an inventor ?

[quote="Polarbear"]I'm presuming your bike was on the road outside your house?

Parked in a private court yard, but open to public. First bike to be stolen here in 17 years! Missed the fuckers by 2 minutes.

Gonna drive everywhere to carry the chains too?

No of course not, security at my workplace is banging and I’m not the sort of person to leave it when out and about. My biggest fear is/was being nicked from outside my flat.

It's just not worth having a nice bike in London/Essex.

I tried it but got sick of wheeling the bike through the house and putting the chains/locks on the bike daily; while worrying about it being thieved in the back of my mind.

The above post is right!

Theres too much to worry about in life and today's society so added paranoia and stress over keeping a nice expensive and desirable bike safe is something you don't need, and that constant worry and anxious state could make you sick and give you a stomach ulcer.

Ask yourself would you feel safe at work or home leaving say a £30-35k hatchback like say a Ford Focus RS outside all day? If the answer is no, then your sure as hell not going to want to leave a £10k+ motorbike outside are you?

If needs for getting to work on time meant that I had to ride a bike as the only option, then I'd seriously consider buying 2-3 bikes for a total of a couple of grand and use each one in turn until they got nicked or knackered beyond being worth fixing.

I've never worked in London, but worked in other cities and took the train daily into work from my closest station. Sometimes I've taken a pushbike or a folding push bike with me for the last bit either end of the train station. Its not the cheapest or most convenient or comfortable way to get to work, but it sure beats worrying about if your own personal transport is going to be there at the end of each day to take you home. And then all the other nice things like being a crash for cash victim, or hijacked for your vehicle, or having it vandalised by bored kids, or just some random physio.

I also lost a motorbike once, it felt so bad, I often had to park far away
Now I even use the lock for my helmet too.

I was thinking why the hell haven’t they designed a anti angle grinder security. Plus a chain that knows it been cut and pumps out a load of that invisible paint, and dials your mobile & 999.
