Default i hate punks

Like my title? By punks i mean dropkicks who hang out at homemade shitty jumps all day amd reckon theyre it. And then they start eyeing your bike, cause they cant be bothered getting an honest job to get one themself.

Back in canberra i lived in a.... active neighbourhood, full of these punk kids. I only just got into mountain biking, and after my first supermarket bike broke i went out and bought a 05 kona cinder cone, my prize and joy. yeh well i had that for a couple of months riding it out at the pine forest out back. Without knowing it i was followed home by some hoons and the next week i found my shed door ripped off and me and my dads bike gone.

so i need some anti theft advice cause now i have a giant stp2 and a kona kula, and i dont feel like losing them

Can you help me out

Well, you could bring the bikes indoors. You could build a sturdy shed with a re-enforced dead bolt lock. But my favorite is; buy a big mean dog. They love sheds, and hate thieves. Usually you can find an inexpensive one at a pound.

i store my bikes in the garden shed, i use a shed alarm system that i built myself.

you can also buy one cheaply from most hardware stores. They come with a high decibel siren and work off batteries and simple to install.

I have boarded up my shed window with 12mm plywood and put iron grid behind it. The only way in is though the door which has two tamperproof double-back locks with big padlocks. If somone wanted to break in badly enough they would literally have to take a big axe to it and i would hear them..

so, buy a shed alarm and take darkhelmet's advice of re-inforcing the structure.
