They tried to nick my bike last night!

Keep a few bricks in your bedroom.

Don't forget he lives in a bungalow, so might get them returned immediately!

[Rockburner]

One of them shouts a name out. Would police be interested ???

Police will already know who they are.

But they need cast iron evidence to make any arrests worthwhile.

I have a cure for that....

Mandem is slang used by wanna be gansata dickheads not a name.

Meh. Pietin probably has howitzer and a rail gun in the loft of plenty.

I heard Taipan using that name for his pals

Mandatory 5 years here. Molotov cocktail, let the fuckers burn

FFS what a day. Plod categorised it as "vehicle interference", whatever TF that is. I'm pushing for further conversations with local plod and am told i'll be answered by someone at some point

My wife is scared, very scared, that they'll come back. The fact that they had a hammer to assail me/anyone at our front door has really scared her. She knows that win, lose, or draw, I'm at them, and that worries her more, so what do i do?? TBH I wish they'd just knicked the bastard bike, as mrs T would have brushed that off...

[Ian]

Can you get it in the front door? Just until they lose interest

Thanks for your input, its appreciated. I don't want to live like that. If it's on, its on, and I'd rather deal with it real time, than mess around delaying the inevitable. I'll concede my opinion probably isn't that rational, though, as Mrs T isn't happy as present.I guess we'll see what the night brings and what Plod has to say when, and if, I get a response...

Out the back door, up onto the roof & a pot of boiling water/oil on the fuckers.
"No idea officer, one of them was holding the front door so I couldn't get out the house...."

Over here you'd have plausible defense for shooting the fucker at the door through the window "He had a hammer & was trying to break in..."

Maybe a hairspray flamethrower administered via the letterbox?

[ZRX61]

A lungful of dry powder from a fire extinguisher would spoil their fun... "I mistook the sparks from their grinder for my bike being on fire..."

In case you hadn't noticed, no method of dealing with these cunts is off limits. In Cornwall there's lot of abandoned mine shafts... same here in the Mojave Desert.

[Taipan]

TBH, i'm more worried that my wife no longer feels safe in her own home, than looking for answers from yosenite Sam!

[Felix]

For as much as it hurts to say but let the cunts have it. Wife will relax that they got what they want and you got insurance.

[Ian]

Seriously don't go out there to tackle three 18 year olds with a claw hammer. The bike is insured, it not worth dying for.
I know you probably think that's weak but don't be another headline please.

Hello TP

Very sorry that happened to you, you seem to be in a bit of a hotspot for bike thieves. Nothing boils my piss more than those.
Please consider getting either the litelok 3 or the hiploc dx1000 which are amongst the most grinder proof locks on this planet.
However Gallifrey had some plasma locks made from Darlicanium when I last visited

All you can really do is have multiple locks which are very visible so it would take them too long to steal
Keeping a fog horn near the front door would be good as the last thing thieves want is loudness drawing attention to them
and this would alert the neighbours too.
How about some of the "Criminal Identifier Spray" if you got close to them and they got a facefull of that the cops might be more interested ?

if that happened to me and I couldn't open the front door I would open the living room window and let my theft prevention officer out.
She really is scary with people she does not know and wouldn't fuck around.

[weeksy]

TBH mate, it'd be a cue for me to sell the bikes and possibly even move away. You've had issues there for a while i think.

You're retiring, so won't need a bike... just get rid of it and move on. The wife will be happier, you'll be able to relax too..

Sure, it's not the answer you maybe wanted/thought... but, well, it'd be my plan.

[MyLittleStudPony]

TWOC'y lads.

[Dodgy69]

What about more floodlights and maybe some loud alarm. On a switch inside house so when they wake you, just hit the switch. Wouldn't work when you're away though. Oh and more chains.

Can you still get the movement alarm for bikes? I had one that was a disc lock I think and fck that thing was loud - might scare them off as it'll draw too much attention to them??

I know bikes have alarms, but they are often ignored like car alarms - the one I had once was absolutely horrific in tone and volume!! Should make anyone stop and move away from whatever they are trying to steal that is making that noise!!!
