I dont feel safe driving through the centre of Cardiff with the car window open

Really? worked there for a few weeks on and off 5 years ago, actually quite liked the place. Actually work was in Nantgarw, but stayed in Cardiff.

Disco equipment suppliers sell smoke machines and strobe lights that can be setup to go off with the alarm.

It'd better also play Stayin' Alive at full volume....

Damn that's a pain. I wonder if leasing a small storage container / lockup somewhere else might be worthwhile? Leave it at least a year before slowly bringing bikes back..

Something like this -ย  https://www.portablespace.co.uk/product/08ft-x-08ft-steel-store I think you can get them a lot cheaper than that though. Good luck breaking into that bastard thieves!

To be honest that would be pretty easy with one of the powerful portable angle grinders these ***ts are tooled up with ...

Although they usually like to use them once inside the shed/garage/outbuilding as the sparks can sometimes attract attention.

Sorry to hear this.ย  But you're definitely a target even more so now.

As suggested before - steel shed.ย  But you should come and take a look at my chains next time you are over.ย  They will change your perception of bike chains.ย  However they are still vulnerable to angle grinders.

I suspect angle grinders would wake up many neighbours in that location.

That really sucks.... and stopping it happening again is going to suck more to some degree.

It also depends how nasty the scrotes are.... are they willing to hurt someone badly to get what they want vs being sneaky scrotes...?

How local might they be? ย (including temporarily local...)

Do they only come at night or are they able to watch the house for it being empty during the week?

The most hassle and some cost is as someone said and get paid storage. ย Perhaps then just keeping a minimum inside the house but collecting from storage when you want a specific bike??

The key to it all (sadly) seems to be them moving onto some other unfortunate ... because the rid/reward is better.
