Hate to hear that, I always worry when I leave mine. I lock everything.

The newer tubular locks are a joke.

Perhaps a shape charge in the saddle would be a good security option...

I went to buy one of those little home safes awhile back and just to check if it was any good I tried it and just simply pulled it open.

Sorry to hear about this. I always lock mine down but I also put it under a Honda cover, no one will steal a Goldwing.

Heck, I lock the ignition and the fork when I put it in the garage of an evening.

I suppose at some point I might put in a concrete anchor, but I don't know. Parking the car a few inches from the garage door makes it nigh impossible to get the bike out unless you move the car first.

The genius that built my garage built it juuuuust a hair smaller than a modern-day car. Plenty of room for my Harley, tools, and a work environment, but no room for a car.
