someone tried to nick my bike last night

You can get a cheap alarm form Hawk that is easy to fit. (£20-£30)


Good adjustability on the sensitivity, flashing LED, and is loud enough to be a good deterrent with all the hazard lights flashing.


That and chain it to the ground.


If you're friendly with the neighbours, maybe you could leave the bike in their garage/shed or somewhere behind locked gates out of sight for a while incase the same bastards come back to have another go.

I have bought a hawk alarm, just gor to find the plugs under the seat, I also have managed to park the bike around the back of the house, bit of a pain but once the alarm is fitted it will be below our bedroom window and right outside the mother in laws bedroom window.

Anyone tried those metal "lockups"?  I seem to remember some guys at uni having those outside flats, like a bike sized shed - all metal, made a hell of a racket when getting in/out.

found the plugs had been cut off, and I only found 3 wire total, and they were for the rear indicators and earth.
