BIKE STOLEN NORTHAMPTON

[Wapping]

Best thing about this system is it works anywhere you are in the world. If you log in and see a theft in progress you just then call the police. (And then wait 8 hours for them to come

And if you don't log in during your near 24 hour flight to New Zealand and as a consequence miss the Estonians breaking into your garage, it will be days before plod turns up.....

Fuck - rumbled

The badlands of Northampton are now safe.

How do you know about his flight?

Anybody know how these cheap GPS trackers work then? Do they just constantly update the position or do you get a text if the bike moves? If so do you then get a text everytime you ride it or can you turn them off?

Used by way of imaginative example only. I could just as easily have used the 10 hours he'd spend locked incommunicado in the bog with the shits, due to eating a dodgy prawn vindaloo in Cleethorpes.

I know how the reassuringly expensive ones work and work very well they do.

The cheap ones? Well they are something entirely different.

pic of my dead bolt

As you can see its re-enforced with the plate. You cannot see it from the outside. shaft of the bolt goes into concrete.

Not terribly strong but alot of better that the standard garage lock. When I have a new garage door, going to fit one in each bottom corner.

At my last employers we had some vans broken into. They used battery oscillating tools and peeled the metal away from the standard lock. Vauxhall vivaros very easy to open rear doors. If they want in they will get in but the opportunist will struggle.

Was the OP's bike nicked using the bikes keys?

I know the tealeaves can push the bike away, but I thought that the BMW ignition system had some sort of immobiliser in it to prevent the bike being started without the correct key. Other than breaking for spares, does this not make the bike unattractive to joyriders? Or is the immobiliser easy to get round?

 

[Davel]

It was keyless.

 

[KAYCEE]

It was keyless.

So how easy is it to start a "keyless" BMW or even one with an "immobiliser", without the key in the vicinity?

(Don't want to know how to do, just getting paranoid that it can be done...)

Very easy. Stand next to the bike, spin around 6 times, blinking 245 times per spin, and bingo. You have to pat yourself on the head at the same time though, or it won't start.

You're not being very helpful!!!!

 

[Davel]

It works - I just tried it...

Did you blink 245 times? That's very important.

It's true, Nutty has a plate he spins on.

Sometimes he uses it to spin his bike too, just for fun

Any criminal lawyers among us?

Where does one stand if, say, one were to catch/confront said thieves in the act WITHIN own property and,say, accidentally killed said thieves with a blunt object? Such as a hammer?

Now, bludgeoning someone to death attempting to steal your bike would be unreasonable force.
If however, they had threatened you with (say) a screwdriver, and tried to stab you with it, and you had to defend yourself with the hammer - that would be reasonable.
Your story would be confirmed by the screwdriver clasped in their cold, dead hand. Wouldn't it.

Like a kind-of urban "Rock-Paper-Scissors" contest - in your garage?
