Attempted theft of motorcycle

[DulwichLondoner]

@Willard, first of all let it be clear I have no interest in convincing anyone. I describe what I think and why, but we all have different needs priorities opinions etc.

I find a GPS tracker more important than an alarm. I use my bike almost every day, but would leave it unused for a couple of weeks in the summer and during Christmas. My bike has a 12Ah battery; when the battery is new, the bike starts just fine after 2 weeks idle, but when the battery is not new, the bike struggles after 2 weeks. I am therefore reluctant to add additional strain to the battery.

I would not replace my tracker with an alarm because I find the tracker more effective; in a residential area like Dulwich you might hope neighbours might, maybe, be alerted by an alarm, but in central London no one gives a damn.

This is my 2 cents.

Hi Willard,

Hindmans Road - south of Upland Road is in East dulwich ward and ablate have free motorbike ground anchors.

Hopefully the Peckham Rye ward councillors will choose to support this type of crime prevention at some point if you live north of Upland Roads.

Like I said, I'm in Peckham Rye ward. I'm north of Upland Rd, close to Tyrell. I had my anchor fitted last summer. The Peckham Rye ward councillors already support this initiative, it's not just you!

Word of advice: right now saw 2 "scouts" on scooters checking out my bike.

My suspicion is they will be back later tonight.

Watch out anyone with bikes vicinity of Heber School and surrounding area

Caesio01, I heard them too.
