I use squire locks, but the insurance companies don't recognise them. They're much happier for you to use a £20 Oxford lock you can pick with a biro.

Very interesting.

I have squire locks, hardie anchors and 19" chains. Can't do much more I suppose

I ve got all sorts tbh but do have some of the abloy locks they mention and can vouch for the quality.

Only security you need for a bike is an invisible force field that when someone touches it slices off their hands. All we need is someone to invent it and make it conpletly legal. Chains and locks just arent fashionable nowadays!! Lol

I like your thinking Tony!

Let's do a group order on claymores. I'll have some of that

I reckon that if you tried to protect your bike with a claymore, you would just get a burned out wreck in place of your P&J.

Of course I have no clear evidence to reinforce my theory.

You need to turn it the other way

I'd rather see a mangled mess of a semi-concious torn up body next to my mangled mess of a bike rather than just a mangled mess of my bike in a back alley to be honest. I have so much disregard of thieves right now. I hope they all die in pain while trying to tuck their putrid guts back into their crack riddled bodies. The cants!

Whilst I know its wrong, I have to say I agree wholeheartedly with Tony's sentiments.

Yes I know the scrotes that steal your P&J are not the ones that are making the big money, but they are still bike thieves and therefore are nearly the lowest form of life (lowest being tool thieves and child molesters), and imho deserve no pity or quarter.
