Topic: Avoiding having to make a "stolen bike" post...

This might be off topic and even off color, but there used to be this website called stickdeath.com, and he used to make anti-theft videos where the criminal gets killed. In one of them the car fills up with water and the doors lock and the guy drowns. A good one was when the guy gets in and when he turns the key a revolver comes out of the airbag cover and blows his head off. I could see that. Hide a small bootlegging pistol in the instrument cluster and when the guy moves the front wheel at all the trigger is pressed. Just don't forget to disarm it. (This is also a good way to deter strangers from sitting on your bike.)

My bike is parked inside my crappy garage in between the car and truck.

The only way in the garage is through the garage doors.

The door in front of the car is not connected to the garage door opener. If you break the lock, you can open the door if you push up on it just right because it sticks and doesn't want to open. If you have succeeded in opening the door, you can hit the button to open the other door that is hooked to a garage door opener(the car is up on jackstands and has no front brakes-you are welcome to break into my garage and fix my car). At this point you see the truck has the wheels pointed to the right-so you just can't push it out of the way. If you are strong enough to lift the front end of the ranger and pull it out of the garage onto the street (at which point you can have my bike), you can move the lawnmower and various stuff on/around the bike,and push the bike out to where you can start it.

Now, if the bike hasn't been ridden in a few weeks, it will start and run very bad for about 4 minutes. Durring this time you should have the clutch pulled in so it will release, otherwise when you put it in gear it will lurch forward and stall.

Or

You can go to the front of my house, look across the street at my neighbor who has his Harley parked on the sidewalk, and take that.
