id be making sure its real secure now, theres every chance they could come back if they saw what else you had....

theres certainly some scumbags around, and the courts dont do sweet f$%k all about it.

Which part of the country are you in?

There was a mad run of this a couple of years back. People were targeting garages in South Canterbury. They seemed to be pretty professional.

Sucks that it's taking advantage of people's trust in their neighbourhood. So many people in rural areas leave garages unlocked or windows open and then get some loser ruining it for them. Sad.

Its not uncommon for them to wait 6 weeks and come back for the replacements

If you replace the bikes it dosent hurt to store them somewhere else for a while

There was also a bout of it here in North Canty a year or so back.

Sorry to hear about the theft Karam.

But Please - no more promoting Southland, its just great as it is. We don't want outside investors who are too soft to live here Or more people that might cause me to have to stop at a give way one day

sorry, forgot glen? peek hour traffic sux, weather sux and so does the money,

Much better. The 4WD is the worst though... And as soon as I stop peddling and hop off this bike the dam computer (imported) stops!

or if ya keen direct power just remember to unhook it before the cops turn up ta see what killed em..........hope ya get ya gear back

went and had a look at one of them today, all our bikes are chained to the ground using high tensile chain, they definitely tried but gave up, last year when they got our bikes was around 25k, this time i would say, 8 to 10k

Sorry to hear bout ya loss..ya need a dog . i have a neo x pitty an a bull mastiff x shar pei they keep an eye on things..like to see some one sneek around my property lol
cheers matt

geez man, how they get in? same way as last time? i would rig the door handle to my toe with a piece of string and lie in wait with a 12 gauge!

we used to have a pitbull, got rid of that a few years ago, it was just like having a loaded gun walking around the house, they cut the locks with bolt cutters, as they say, you can only kkeep an honest theif out

Decent door with a shielded lock and if possible an in-door type lock ( deadbolt style )
Also throw in an alarm to let everyone know whats going on.
Yes you are right you will never stop these wankers especially when you have something that is easy to sell ... and there are wankers that are willing to buy stuff that on price alone has to have been stolen

It's all about making it harder and increasing the chance of them getting caught .
