THAT'S SCARRY !!

You buy these products believing that they do take the five mins stated to be successfully attacked, not half a minute. All it took was a big pair of bolt croppers and a fat bloke, nothing technical just brute force.

I’ve got a Datatool python, you think for £100 odd quid and a Thatcham approval you’ve got a top product …. Obviously not !

Thanks for the link Tony!

They struggled a bit on the old Squire chain.
I guess what I have always thought is true still stands. The more items you can put to slow them down the more likely they are to go onto some other poor unfortunates bike. Imagine two of those chains etc. Gotta help hasn't it?.

See a guy walking down a street with a huge pair of boltcroppers might be a clue to his intentions too!!! 8O

Good link Tony :!:

I think LSM has the right idea, the more deterrent you can give the thieving scum the better, but you'll never completely stop someone if they are determined enough :!:


Now, who can supply one of those good quality huge pair of bolt croppers :?: :wink:

Exactly the same as me .... If I stop when out on the bike, I remain as close as I can to it.
If its in the workshop then its guna take them atleast 20mins to get the bike out, and in that time they'd have met the dogs, or even more scary me in my pants !
