Because he just needs to close the garage door and has all the privacy in the world. A neighbour would hear the angle grinder, yes, but coming from a garage, that's not unusual. | |

A real bastard also glues the thread & prefills the hole with concrete-compatible glue, and uses expensive hardend chain. While there's some value in a cover like the ones advertised, the gap between "I can defeat a chain" and "I can defeat the bolt head but not the cap or chain" is very narrow. I have the welder, but I just use bolts, it's not worth fabricating something more complex | |

And since this is only for home use and not mobile use, one could find a nice length of heavy chain and a heavy duty lock that would surely deter thieves away from the bike. At that point the thieves would probably find the house door more interesting. -- Or maybe some of the other stuff in the garage that isn't bolted down. -- ;~) | |
