In the last 3 months 2 mates have been ripped off, one lost 4 dirtbikes (YZ250, WR450, CRF250 and a CRF450) and another lost a bike trailer and 2 KTM450 and a KTM 300. The KTM's were stolen from a underground carpark iunder an apartment complex. The police should get out and catch these idiots instead of revenue raising (fining people with gopros on their helmets and tinted visers) And the courts give them long jail terms in our non smoking prisons.

Put the bike in the garage and take one wheel out. Put the wheel in another place. 

Park the trailer with locks on the coupling. I have a lock thru the lock down hole and then cross the chains thru the handle and put a lock thru the chains as well.

PS - while the wheel is out, and you still have the bike, check the wheel bearings, alternate the wheels, back comes out twice to front once.
I have been giving you knuckleheads this tip for 30 years, anybody out there??
It's just more time to be flat out!

I secure my shed and bikes well but will only stop the honest thief with a shed full of tools incl angle grinders and bolt cutters etc and spare wheels if they really want them they will get em so $330 each and they are insured for agreed value let's hope they never find my place or yours.
It is only when a mosquito lands on your balls that you realise there is always a way to solve problems without using violence
