never let anyone follow you home with ham - always keep your ham in the house if possible - and try to always ham, with others - standard ham protocols in this day and age.

Could anyone show me a picture of their ham security?

I wire my ham up to the mains, ensures a nasty shock if anyone tries to sneakily covert my ham.

erm - i can't apparently google image is confused.

Shoefiti, I don't know what your problem seems to be, but every time you post on this forum it's to have a whinge about something, be it Mr Carr (who I suspect, despite some of his palmares being a bit Jackanory, you'd never come close to beating in a race), Facebook (how original), or those silly mountain bikers who assume (quite reasonably most of the time) that they're not being followed home from Wales by gangs of organised thieves.
I've also come into your line of fire for organising some repairs to the mountain bike trails around Bristol (which, judging by the post Bike Fest comments seem to have been widely appreciated) and having the temerity to start up a blog to try and do something about Bristol's increasing bike theft problem (which again, seems to have been positively received, and has helped reunite a couple of people with their stolen bikes already, including me).
For all I know (seeing how you prefer to remain anonymous) you could be sat at your desk chortling away at each semi-earnest attempt at a response to your tiresome negative comments. But you do tend to come across as sincere, which is a tad worrying. If that is the case, just accept that not everyone feels the same way you do, and ultimately if people are having their bikes nicked while yours sit in your impregnable garage, it's their problem, not yours.

I've got it, some leaves, a big hole and sharpened bamboo spikes - hangins to good for ham theives innit.

I trust the ham is supported in a saline solution to enhance conductivity?

kingtut, I hear you can satellite track your ham:
Only really viable if you ham is worth in excess of £1000 though.

errrr i have never said anything of the sort Mr_a Ever i as many others appreciate the work you have done - and would challange you to find that i or others have said otherwisem without your hard efforts last weekend would of been a royal shambles!!!

@ anotherdeadhero - that's the only one i got too! looks like you could remove it quite easily.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Rubbish innit? Its almost like ham connoisseurs don't take their ham security seriously enough.
Posted 2 years ago # -
i have never said anything of the sort Mr_a
Fair enough, seems that I was confusing you with another chap on here who has an irrational obsession with a manager of a local bike shop.

Amd also Mr_a i think for the record that your pro-active approach to bike theft in Bristol is to be commended - it is something the police should of been on ages ago - i what got my gripe was that rather than offer anything to my argument which i admit started poorly was that it didn't help what i (with hindsight poorly outlined) see as an issue of crime deterant/prevention. I was ranting as a freind of mines was broken into last week and had a great deal of kit pinched - yet due to lack of adequate security niether himself od the neighbours heard/saw anything. And this is becoming an all too regular occurance i think you'll agree.

I saw Matt Carr serving in Evans the other day, does he manage the branch then?

just a word of warning - apply safty search! yuk.
Posted 2 years ago # -
and @ mr_a just because people approach things in a different way than you it doesn't mean their intentions are wrong - you seem to have made your mind up about me one way or another, or hopefully confusing me with someone else - either way i'm not out to get you i don't really know how/why that came across. Sit down - relax - have some ham.

Don't have alarms, don't always lock my bikes either TBH, and they live in a shed, which is unlocked, and I've had bikes nicked before. My deterrent is called insurance, it's the best form of deterrent as I get all my stuff back every time exactly as it was before.
They're just bikes, lumps of metal and plastic, I don't care enough to get all medieval about protecting them.

I may be wrong nick, but I'm not sure that makes it a "deterrent"...

NickC, they probably have your address saved as a favourite in their Satnav.

some thieves near me got caught. They were climbing a bacon tree....
...turned out to be a ham-bush

BD, you're right, it's not is it? Hey ho...Still failing to care.

Mine is stored up a tree in a hole in the ground which is only accessible at low tide and is protected at all times by an angry wasp and team of Chinese midget acrobats disguised as Gandalf, but beyond this I've not really put too much thought into the matter of security. Should I run a CRB check on the wasp?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Still going on? Well despite my apparent reputation for being a windger with nothing but negative threads (albeit i thought my what to clean your ears with and how to bag a looker threads where more upbeat and informative than anything else) I have something useful to add - if soemone else actually has something useful also it'd be appreciated.
