We have a tin garden shed with that has nothing of any particular importance
in it, but there have been a few shed thefts locally. And i dont fancy the
job of having to replace my garden tools.

Could anyone recommend a simple *motion-detector* alarm for the shed that is
easy to set up and without being anything complicated. Thanks.

This is the one I use, I extend the length of the cord with a piece of
string so that it extends the width of the open door.
The extended part hooks on to the pin/cord part so I just unhook it
rather than disarming/resetting each time. Cost £11

Electric fence generator wired to the "tin"?

Altai used to make a portable one that ran off batteries with just enough
time to get in and out if you knew where it was. Obviously if the thief sees
where you put it as you exit its very easy to defeat it. As for suppliers,
CPC used to stock them, not looked of late.

Down at the bottom of the page. "Remote car alarm"

Not suitable for outdoors use, so you need to put it inside the shed.

It's a battery powered PIR detector connected to a transmitter, linked
to a battery powered receiver with a switchable alarm screamer or chime
in the house. The transmitter unit I have will cover a reasonable sized
room.

Over thirty yards range, with a nasty habit of false alarms at three in
the morning every few weeks as the batteries go flat if you forget to
change them both. The receiver can be plugged into the mains, the
transmitter would be easily modified to work off either a 9 volt wall
wart or keep a rechargeable battery ready to go.

I was given one by the police after the second attempt at stealing my
car a while ago.

Why were the police trying to steal your car? Or were you?

Thanks. But i was really looking for something simple. For instance someone
told me there was something like a padlock motion detector, but i dont know
which of these; if any are any good.

Sorry, I honestly don't see how it could get any simpler. You hang the
transmitter in the shed, and turn it on. You turn on the receiver. If
anyone moves in the shed or opens the door, the receiver sounds an
alarm. If you have two of them, you need to change some DIP switches on
each unit so that they show the same code.

I have one of these...

It's the same unit Aldi were selling for about 3 or 4 quid last year.
It's bloody loud and works well - currently doing trailer guard duty
along with other security things.
