Greetings all
I recently had my 40th Anniversary TE nicked from a lockup near my home. Garage Defender was pried out of the ground to get the door open. The 16mm chain to ground anchor was removed, as was the alarmed disc lock (neither left behind). And of course the factory bits were bypassed/ignored. The bike was taken a couple of miles away and left for a couple of hours before the tracker gave it's last ping. Then it was gone. Likely a targeted theft and the insurer is already on paying me out. Lurking here, I've learned the replacement will have various Pragmasis bits to make it more secure and a second Garage defender will go on.
BUT... as a targeted/not impulse theft and given the weight of the bike, I can assume one of two things... they either used something like a pallet truck to get it out of the garage and then on to sometihng for a 2 mile (and then onward) journey. OR they have a box that bypasses the key/immobiliser (as seems to be the case for Range Rovers etc).
Begging the question... is there a key-fob delete/go back to an old fashioned key type thing for the immobiliser and alarm?
