  1. Do you have a floor anchor in the shed? Piece of concrete sunk in the floor with a floor anchor bolted into it? I have one on my garage wall though it's never been tested!

    Paul, Not quite as good as that. I've a piece of 3" x 3" wood running inside the shed, screwed into the main frame with 6" screws. The daugher's bike is locked to that with two decent locks and mine is now locked to hers with a Trelock with an armoured cable through all the wheels. I hope that does the job. The blighters should now have to demolish the shed to get the bikes out. As I said, it was just about the only evening in the past five years that they could have nicked both bikes.

    "then invest in a pit bull terrier with brain damage and turn your shed into a kennel, leave the door open half an inch."

    Thanks for the suggestion AS. After careful consideration of your suggestion - which was most appreciated - I have decided that "a brain-damaged pit bull terrier" is perhaps not the best solution for me given my personal circumstances. Does that deserve a smiley? I think it does, so just for you :lol:

  2. The illegitimates took the bikes. The only night in about 5 years that my daughter's bike hasn't been locked to the inside of the shed (in such a way that demolishing the shed would be the only way out) and my bike was locked to hers.

    The two bikes were still locked together with an Abus lock and they couldn't break it so I found both of them in the alleyway the next morning, daughter's slightly damaged and repairable & mine written off. £5 at the local metal fabrication shop to get an angle grinder to go through the Abus lock like the proverbial hot knife through butter. Anyway hers is now repaired and looking good and I've got mysef a Revolution Trailfinder which will do just fine for my usual comute & occasional foray into the Cheshire countryside. I've been "playing out" on it today. Oooh what fun! I'll have to replace the saddle with the comfy one from my other bike though or my Nobby Stiles will be back with a vengeance
