just what to know if there is any other precation one could take from keeping your machine from thieves. seeing the theft rate is so high on these things and i have had one scooped in the past. we have a detatched garage which i just put a alarm system in. is there anything you can with your atv???
thanks

 

Don't know who makes them, but I do remember seeing an anchor system for concrete floors in the past. Hardened cables and chains (using more than one or two is usually a good deterent as most theives look for a quick easy heist). Most any thing you can do to make it time consuming for them to get it free quickly helps. It's aggravating to have to go to such extremes, but it beats losing your quad by a long shot. Hope this helps.

 

thanks fireslayer. after my last one was stolen i was thinking of getting a Aids infested dog to keep in the garage, but then i would probably get charged with something

BEST I HAVE SEEN! last one is fool proof as far as the anchor it self is concerned unless the concrete is excavated, this system would only be as weak as the chain/cable and lock itself.
my home made ghetto version allows me a better night's sleep...

 

thanks zerowick, thats just what im looking for. any other ideas i would like to hear them
thanks

 

there again the lock,chain or what ever is only keeping the honest theif out. if they really want it they'll take it.

 

When I go away I take a couple of wheels off and since they are quite heavy they will have to work for it. I have heard that thieves buy ignition switches for the bikes they want and change them and drive away.

 

true, but the visual alone will send most theives packing to the next place where it's an easy roll away. that's why I painted it yellow, as if to say, move on loser! nothing is fool proof but it doesn't hurt to slow them down or send them away. is your's anchored down, don't make it easy for them.

 

thought of the wheel thing. i was thinking of pulling the fronts off so they wouldnt be able to stear the thing
thanks

 

HomeDepot sells a motion activated alarm to hang on a door ****. You can hang it in between the radiator and the engine, that'll cause a little confusion and wake a sleeping dog.

An empty handgun holster placed on the seat will also make someone think a little, the bigger the holster the better like from a Desert Eagle or 44 magnum.
