Hang a tennis ball on a piece of string such that it touches the windscreen at the appropriate point. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 68 Bantam D14/4 Sport (Classic) 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

No, I was merely commenting that there is a non-noisy way which is known to the more experienced thief. OTOH, it probably does not matter. A few yonks ago a friend rented a small industrial unit from the local council but there were no keys. We turned up in the day on a busy trading estate, took a generator off the van, attacked the "secure" padlocks with an angle grinder and opened the place up. Nobody even asked what we were doing. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 68 Bantam D14/4 Sport (Classic) 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

Containers themselves are not cheap. They're also pretty easy to break into. Yes you can put a big FOAD lock through the handles, but it's pretty easy to chop through the door hinges. Been on the receiving end of that several times. -- Dnc |
