The other day a brazen thief walked through the driveway around the side
of the house and knocked at the back door. I was in the shower, no one
answered and then the intruder made off with an old electric range I had
out there. No great loss, but my Ultra was parked near it under a bike
cover, which the thief couldn't fail to notice. So then...
Paranoia strikes deep
Into my gastro-intestinal tract it did creep
It started when I got afraid
That a man would come round, and take it away
You know we gotta
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody knows what's goin' down...
Well right away I started establishing a multi-layer defense in depth.
I chained the bike to an old utility trailer next to it with a padlock,
parked my van so as to block access, and pulled its fuel pump fuse.
I also installed an on-board bike security alarm under the batwing.
Today for perimeter security I bought a heat-sensing motion detector/
transmitter and a matching receiver that will turn on a lamp or a radio
(to wake me up) as well as a small outdoor camera.
So if I get woken up at 3 in the morning and see some sinister shadowy
characters up to no good in the driveway do I rush out there in bare
feet and PJ's and accost them, shouting: "Ho there, villainous varlets!
Cease thy nefarious doings! I hereby arrest all ye rascals in the name
of Good Queen Bess!"? (That's after dialling 911).
(Note: here in Canada there are heavy restrictions on firearms. However,
I might get myself a hunting bow as an equalizer.)
