Bike theft prevention.

(1/4) > >>

Johnniespeed:
Hello again, I was wondering what everyone else does to prevent bike theft. I have always believed that if my bike was stolen, I would never see it again. I keep it in a locked garage and it is padlocked to the wall. When on the bike carrier I keep it padlocked .
 What I am most interested in is, whether some type of electronic transponder exists, that can be attached to the bike in a hidden location, perhaps under the air box, that can be activated in the event of theft. Then hopefully the signal could be used to track the bike. Pehaps similar to an avalanche transponder.
   I am hoping someone has a high tech solution that is practical.

Oklahoma has 3 laws that are instrumental in bike theft prevention.  And I am a proponent of all 3.
The Conceal / Carry law.  (bad guys never know who is packing)
The make my day law.  (if threatened on your property or in your home you can shoot a person)
The stand your ground law.  (you can shoot a person that continues to approach you in a threatening manner)
These laws don't mean you can shoot your buddy because you guys were getting drunk in the garage and arguing about how much oil to put in the gas and he hits you with a half eaten hamburger.
The D.A. is real tough on justifiable shootings.  You better be in the right.
If I'm not around to implement them it's the old chain, padlock, and locked garage or in the storage container.
Out of sight out of mind of a scumbag thief works well.  I don't leave my bikes out for people to see.
My dog is by no means a biter but she will bark at people she does not know.

I keep my KX in my locked and alarmed shop. We live in and old 2 story house overlooking the shop. I also have, "Posted No Trespassing" signs and in the state of Texas that means you can shoot anyone that is on your property that has not been invited. I also have 6 loaded guns 8' feet from the window that over looks my shop!

LET THEM TRY to pinch my KX He He!

PS I am working on a video surveillance system so I can watch my property from my PC from the web!
