From the comments made by my customers and the bikeing community this year I felt I had to tell you the hard facts about keeping your loved one safe. The fact is over 36,000 bikes are stolen in the UK ever year, 80% of these from home (have you wondered why you have a garage clause on your insurance?).
When your bikes at home Fit a ground anchor at home and an approved chain, dont think putting your car in front of the garage helps either. Ive had so many people telling me that thieves have dragged the bike over the car and this just adds insult to injury. Dont leave your keys in an easy to find place in the house either, this is becoming more popular for stealing cars too. Try not to leave your garage open for more than you have to, more and more thieves are “casing” your property and bikes are being stolen to order. When returning home have a quick look who is behind you etc, im not saying to take a different route home every day and all that spy stuff but bikes are being followed.
