My daughter had hers stolen back in March and a good friend has just had

Some locks are available but they assume the toe-rag is going to unbolt
them and not brutally attack the exhaust.

Any ideas for making them tamper-proof - ideally with potential to cause
injury to the scroats?

Was it stolen as a part, or for metal ?

I thought metal theft was a thing of the past, as "they've done something
about it" ?

And the thieving *******s who nick it (and the people who deal with
them) have "done something about what the authorities had done about it".

In other words: metal theft still goes on, big time, same people (if you
can call them that), same channels.


I was amazed, and distraught, last month to be visiting a tiny church
hidden in the hills of the Borders, to be told that lead still gets
stolen from the roof every now and again.
