Like my title? By punks i mean dropkicks who hang out at homemade [censored] jumps all day amd reckon theyre it. And then they start eyeing your bike, cause they cant be bothered getting an honest job to get one themself.
Back in canberra i lived in a.... active neighbourhood, full of these punk kids. I only just got into mountain biking, and after my first supermarket bike broke i went out and bought a 05 kona cinder cone, my prize and joy. yeh well i had that for a couple of months riding it out at the pine forest out back. Without knowing it i was followed home by some hoons and the next week i found my shed door ripped off and me and my dads bike gone.
so i need some anti theft advice cause now i have a giant stp2 and a kona kula, and i dont feel like losing them
Well, you could bring the bikes indoors. You could build a sturdy shed with a re-enforced dead bolt lock. But my favorite is; buy a big mean dog.😄 They love sheds, and hate thieves. Usually you can find an inexpensive one at a pound.😉
i store my bikes in the garden shed, i use a shed alarm system that i built myself.
you can also buy one cheaply from most hardware stores. They come with a high decibel siren and work off batteries and simple to install.
I have boarded up my shed window with 12mm plywood and put iron grid behind it. The only way in is though the door which has two tamperproof double-back locks with big padlocks. If somone wanted to break in badly enough they would literally have to take a big axe to it and i would hear them..
so, buy a shed alarm and take darkhelmet's advice of re-inforcing the structure.
