I can recommend ATVtrac for a tracker & service. A bit dearer than your 40 quidder, but I suspect you will get what you pay for with that one?

£330 for the unit, which is a small unit hidden away out of sight. That includes the first year’s sub, then £82/yr after. You can move the tracker unit on to the next bike when you change it apparently.

Mine is sensitive enough to alarm if I am overzealous with the pressure washer, resulting in a text and a phone call from their call centre. When I take the bike in for a service, switched off and inside a stock box, I make a point of not logging the tracker out to test them. I usually get 2 miles down the road before I get a call.
I can log in and see, in real time, where the bike is, and has been, at any given time.
You can also choose to set up a perimeter fence, where you get a call if the bike goes past it, even if it’s running (should you leave the keys in it).

If it were stolen, assuming the b*st*rds can’t find the tracker unit, I could track down it’s location myself, or the call centre will coordinate with plod (assuming they’re interested).

Put the tazer next to handcuffs, whip and a mask etc. NO ONE will question it! :ROFLMAO: Come to think of it anyone robbing the place would probably jump out the window without being asked.

Why do you have to mention such sordid matters MRT?

The thing we know Baldrick’s ever alert antennae will pick up on this thread. He will then inevitably poke his nose in and thus be involved in the debate.

I don’t wish to appear unkind. But we all know that this discussion will then inevitably be swiftly dragged into the gutter, and thence down to sewers, sewers that plumb the utmost depths of depravity, and fed by the putrid eruptions of filth that emanate from his perverse imagination.

Please try and be more careful in future.

PS Love ya loads Balders! Call in if you’re passing.

Thing is, you know I'm right. As long as the conservative MP wasn't in situ at the time no one would question it!

I think as well, if I kept a ball hammer next to my bed, so that if I was burgled, I could take that hammer to protect myself, that would be premeditated if I killed the burglar. However, if my tractor repair tool kit was in the hallway, and in my fear for my life I reached down and grabbed my ball hammer from the tool box to protect myself, the legal out come would be different..

You know what to tell the police then if this scenario occurs :)

The type of people who come to our farms to steal are the sort who if you did confront them or gave them a good hiding would almost certainly be back with their inbred cousins to return you the favour twice fold and skin your dogs as well , but the choice is yours , but for a quite life I'd just increase security and keep my head down , shame really as I'd love to sort bu##ers out but it can put you in a very uncomfortable position in reality

We are on very free draining ground /plus on a hill
Container was set down on piers with drainage backfill , core 10 container was completely sealed on the outside and then a reinforced slab over the top with ventilation ducting further away from workshop to remove any moisture
Never had any issue with damp so far 🤞

Isn’t it a bit of a pain to get the quad in and out though?

I don't see how the reprisals are much different to how the mafia operated

Do they though?

I agree on how to deal with it but I often wonder just how far they would take it.

Burning down a shed is one thing but you tend to hear of many serious revenge impacts

It is bullying and intimidation, theft and violence but hardly the Mafia. We need our law enforcement to enforce the law rather than bravely look the other way. If Police cannot do thier job because the risk is too great how can the public be expected to suffer the attentions and continue to do thiers?
