Little tip I thought I would share,

An interesting chat and demonstration with a guy from forensics yesterday about a current method little scumbags are using to target owners of bikes.

Go to your garage door and push either at the top in the corners or the middle and see if you can create a gap at all either with your hands or a screwdriver etc.

Slide your mobile phone into gap.

Take picture.

Note address with picture.

Move on too next garage.

Repeat.

Go home study pictures and evaluate targets worth a return.

Very quickly they are able to build up a picture of what properties are worth targeting.

You can open an up and over door with a screwdriver (and do very little damage). Side lockers (and perhaps a plate running along the top) are essential.
