Last night, 4 guys on 2 scooters. They were using an angle grinder to go through the lock on my Vespa, at around 2am.


Luckily my wife and our neighbours all woke up, and one was taking photos of the perps and their scooters.


When I opened my door my dogs scared them off (or the sight of me in my pants). 3 police cars responded, then went looking for them.


The police are taking a much more active interest in this sort of thing than they did a few years ago, as these perps are subsequently doing much worse with the bikes they steal.


Anyway, lock them up, with alarms and multiple layers.

can we get some pics posted please.. seems like a pattern of thefts with scooters recently |& sooner these scumbags are caught the better

Sorry to hear that!


May I ask what lock it was? I think the best ones are the Almax and Pragmasis one (both British brands).

If your bedroom is close to where you park your Vespa, a lock with a loud alarm might be useful (but it can be muffled), or, better yet, one which causes a remote in your room to go off (they can't muffle that). I posted about it in another thread, but can't remember the name of the product now. I also have a GPS tracker (Alltrac), but, depending on the battery of your Vespa, that might drain a scooter's battery too quickly.

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
