[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 5711"] If you ever had doubts as to whether to install additional security devices in your garage, you might be interested to hear what happened to a mate of mine. He recently advertised his motorcycle (non Vincent) for sale, and someone came to view it (the only person). The deal was struck, and the following day, the guy came back with the cash and took the bike away - perfectly genuine. The following night, while my mate and his girlfriend were in bed, someone who obviously knew the bike was there, got under his van (which was blocking the garage door), then cut the brake cables, rolled the van back, drilled out the door lock, somehow lifted two security bolts, then opened the garage door - only to find that the bike wasn't in there. It's incredible the lengths that some people will go to steal your pride and joy. One thing I always do is to make sure nobody is following me before I get home. If there's a car on my tail, I just go 'around the block' to see if they're following me or a it's just a coincidence. However, maybe I'll install some extra security on my garage now. Has anyone got any experience of these?... [url]http://www.screwfix.com/prods/79478/Security/Garage-Shed-Security/Garage-Door-Security/Garage-Defender[/url] [/QUOTE]
