Condo Parking Theft Deterrent

yeah lots of noise and sparks, most smart people will move on to an easier target and if you chain it by the tire you deserve to get your bike stolen.

then where should we chain it? chain the swing arm, thieves can still remove rear wheel then rear axle to remove chain. chain the forks, thieves can take the forks off.
lol. i suppose if you have a naked bike you can chain around the headers.

Seriously...but it makes it more difficult, thats the point, short of not parking in a condo it can get stolen the point is to make it hard enough that they go after a different bike.
 
If you canot drill , will they let you throw a big chunch of plate down in yr spot with loops welded on ? I would expect new it could be found for less than a buck a lb. Maybe used a lot less from a scrap/salvage dealer . 1/4 plate is about 10 lbs a square foot .



40 cent a lb .. get 2 1/4 plates , bolt an anchor through both , or have someone burn a hole through them for a chain . About 250 bucks and you can park on top of them . You could even paint them black for a camo effect if needed. The beauty of 2 1/4 inch sheet is 2 guys hand handle each one if they are carefully, One guy can handle one if yr careful and plan yr moves carefully !

all you can do is to deter thefts
my 05 ninja zx6r got stolen a year and a half ago from my underground parking... they even stole my bike stands...
but yeah, thank goodness i had insurance otherwise i'd be pretty ******
 
Lucky, my condo BLD is allowing me to anchor something to the wall or floor.

Their condition was; (I am renting)

the owner needed to give authorisation.
the condo board needed to give authorization (written deceleration that drilled holes will be filled "by me" once my lease is up)
I have to purchase the hardware.

Interesting concept, assuming you can get permission to anchor it (a big assumption in most cases). It does seam to have 1 basic design flaw. You would think that the bolt and lock would go in from the side facing the wall. Just as easy to access when you swing it out, but no way to get at it when a car is blocking it in.

This will handle that in about 30-45 seconds. They cost less than $150 bucks.

HERBXX, I bowe to you and hatts off... this is the best for outside parking, and a friend with motorcycle drooled over the idea... thank you.
 
In world of "incredibly stupid things that I would never do" here's an idea (that is extremely flawed but could be refined for less fatal accidents):

Get an alarm of any kind that has a shock or tilt sensor and a proximity sensor. Get a few friends from UofT or something in chem/engineering that know how to make stuff explode. Find a way to trigger the compound using the alarm if:
  • The proximity sensor stays on for x seconds AND the tilt/shock sensors go off.

Issues with the unrefined idea above:

  • Extremely high potential of exploding on idiot kids that want to sit on your bike (I don't know if this is a con lol)
  • Alarms themselves are unreliable and sometimes go off for no reason. You don't want to cause a Michael Bay movie scene for no reason.
  • Very high chance of exploding yourself; I had a Scorpio SR-i900, I triggered that alarm more than anyone else did lol

To further the theory crafting and stupidity, there are multiple ways to increase the power of the explosion, such as putting the compound in a grenade like object in your gas tank; you risk explosions while riding though.

Make sure you write in big ****ing bold letters on your seat: if you take this it will explode.

Fine Print: I am not responsible if you're stupid enough to attempt this.

That's called booby trapping and will land you in jail, long time.
 
What do you do when some ******* parks infront of your bike and you cant get it out lol
 
I still wouldn't feel safe with this, it still relies on a simple lock.

I see the constant postings of stolen bikes from condo parking garages, this seems like a great security product... IF you can convince the building management to allow you to install it.

A bit pricey, but it looks like it would keep your prized possession safe.

Yes I know.

It's amazing how our laws are though eh? Park a bike in a condo, can't do anything about it except hope insurance pays out when it gets stolen. Buy a second one, same thing happens, etc.

....and the police don't do anything despite our other theft thread there with some leads.

Thanks , I suggest it every year and most people don't get it..( my father actually had something like this at our farm to chain his bike too,) If it was me I would weld what ever fixtures you want on it. Short sections of heavy pipe sliced in half make good loops. .. Good luck
