Fella, calm down. Did I mention your link? NO. I was replying to JRs post, if you read it. Yes your link will list a webmasters addy. etc etc. Website hacking and your name is in the same line. Im not going ot tell you about websites, I dont feel you need to go off on one again. lol
Uh??? You don't need to for reasons that should be obvious considering I have a website that I designed and ritted.
No I haven't............I'm perfectly calm and OK...........Can't see where your coming from to be frank, unless you are trying to start something.........:wink:
Fuck me....I'll have to stop posting from my P&G mobile phone or people's unlocked wif,i or they'll burgle my phone providers bike shed or an unsuspecting wifi owners garage ;-)
I live in Abu Dhabi, let come here and try and get away with stealing my bike ! They won't get very far !
Same deal in the Falklands - no point in stealing a vehicle, there's nowhere to take it ! The longest continuous stretch of tarmac in the whole place is only 7 miles long...
Pah, people worry too much... I use a locked garage and two substantial locks on each bike. While its unwise to post too much info, anyone who wants it badly enough will find it and take it. Bike theft is actually far lower than it was in the 90's, and smaller bikes (especially 125's) are at far more risk than a big bike because its far easier to walk off with and work on in the privacy of the thief's own premises. While it is of course common sense to be security savvy, there reaches a point where paranoia crosses the line. My ex was like that, she would take every till receipt home and shred it because she knew how people can get info. Thing is, the odds of a criminal getting your info against the thousands of others is still very small. I had someone get my credit card details about 10 years ago. They plaid online poker to the tune of £300. I reported it, the bank refunded it and it was done... Life is too short to be paranoid. Sensible - yes, paranoid? no.
It's really quick, cheap and simple to kill a dog. Or even four dogs. Surely I don't need to provide details ...
Pete.... ......no thanks! lol ......but well worth raising the topic/peoples awareness I think......up to them as to how they judge the risk and what if anything they do about it. Although I started the topic with bikes in mind Char's comments point us to an area of 'rsik' that's probably even more pertinent... "yup - same for your kids, dogs, etc FB has a nice 'map' service - like you say great as a personal diary but also great for the ungood and wannabe stalker"
The best way to avoid being robbed is never being robbed. The second best way is to own nothing worthwhile that anyone is aware of. The third best way is my favourite, the Uzi 9 millimetre.
Many thanks for that distasteful comment. I was, actually, referring to the amount of noise that they make - and the fact that they have very sensitive hearing. They are, therefore a good alarm system and a good deterrent. If you have the right equipment and a little training it's really quick, cheap and simple to kill a human. Or even four humans. But I'm sure you wouldn't want me to provide details of that either !
What do you mean, distasteful? My point was that any determined thief will plan to start off by killing the dogs, before proceeding with the theft. You wrote, "Best anti-theft device in my home is four big, noisy dogs... " but I'm afraid if that is really the best you've got you may have a problem. The amount of noise they can make, and the sensitivity of their hearing, may be of little help to you once they are dead. "Kill a human"? I have no idea what relevance you think that point might have to the topic under discussion.
The thing I found distasteful was the off-hand attitude you appear to have to killing animals, which is confirmed by your reply to my comment. You say it's easy to kill a dog: my point is that it's also easy to kill a human, if you know how. To follow your argument to its logical conclusion a truly determined thief would also have no problem killing a person before proceeding with a theft, that is the relevance of my point. Dogs do provide a good alarm system, and a good deterrent - but they are not the only thing I have to rely on. Additionally - any thief would actually have to be on the premises in order to cause harm to the dogs - unless you know a way that it can be done by telepathy - and by that time the alarm would have been raised. And - just so you know - when I said "Best anti-theft device in my home is four big, noisy dogs..." I was not being entirely serious...
