> Keep locked in garage. Install motion sensor in garage with a loud 125db horn alarm that broadcasts out vent in eave that wakes up all your neighbors. Make sure all doors are deadbolted and have steel door frame with steel door and frame lagged into double up 2 by 4s. You could also install motion sensor lights outside and a motion sensor that makes alarm go off in house. Also live in nosey neighborhood where neighbors look out for one another. I have had neighbors challenge the meter readers and give me full report when I come home, course they were rretired and somewhat nosy but they were my best friends and I thanked em all the time for it. 
> My favotrite was a joke from my Pops, talked about leaving note to your bud on door making sure he knew to feed the brutes inside and to make sure he did not let em get out lest they hurt someone in neighborhood. Also deadbolts should require key to get out not a thumb knob, so if some dumbass breaks in thorugh window they cant get out but back out the window. If you are in my garage and crawled in window in about 5 seconds the wickedest alarm goes off and you have to crawl all over stuff to get at it. then you discover overhead door has padlocks on both sides locking door to frame and the entrance door has a 3 inch long deadbolt that can not be opened without a key from inside What do you do now, crawl back out window and get your head bashed in...or fall on the rose bushes under the window. Your choice I do not care. For barely 100 bucks you can get a low light motion sensing camera that you can tie into your TV or computer or have turn on lights in house after making
>  alarrm in house come on. there is so much you can do for peanuts it is not worth discussing. now leaving outside forget it. Sorry for all those who have no choice there. Near 20 years ago three kids tried to carry my fork locked Nighthawk S away and when they discovered just how tough that was they dropped it behind my apartment. of course on the brand new three color Telefix fairing I had recently installed.  Course a van would have made off with it but it was hidden so only a kid nosing around would find it not a van driving by.  What do you do go in on storage unit or rent garage space or...alarms on bike are a pita. chains are a pita. Course if you want to go whole hog epoxy grout an eyebolt into floor and chain thru that. Given enough time anyone can do anything, make it hard for them to get in and harder to get out. Set tacks on window sills in garage so any dummy will be sorry for setting a palm inside to climb in. A small dog is a wonderful pet and a very good
>  alarm system. hell I am not a cat person but we have a couple and one a Maine Coon will make the damnedest racket when someone approaches my home,.. I mean his home. he has been known to run at sliding glass doors hard enough to damn near knock him out if a bird or squirerel lands on deck. Stupidest damn cat but even he is an effective alarm that something is going on outside. One night the dumbass used my head on pillow for launch pad to jump to window to see who or what was making noise outside his window. Not one of the guys at work believed for a minute the shiner was from my cat. Damn thing weighs 18 pounds. :) Rich
