If you have a house alarm system upgrade it to include your garage as a separate ?zone? so it can be left armed even when you are in the house. To be effective the alarm system should be a 24/7 monitored one with alert and response capability.
Externally replace the garage door with a heavy duty interlocking steel segment roller shutter door, rated to withstand ramming (eg. 7.5ton truck @ 30mph) and anti-jacking.
If you have a side door entry to the garage install a heavy duty lattice sliding gate on the inside.
Each door should also have proximity, impact and pressure sensors that can detect ?unusual? movement and/or pressure on any area of the door frame. These will be linked into your alarm system.
Make sure your CCTV system has night vision capability and is also linked into the same control ops room as your alarm, so the monitoring company can access the ?zone? and start recording remotely if required whilst notifying the appropriate response.
Inside the garage, make sure the bike is chained to a properly secured ground anchor and if possible disc locked as well.
If you have more than one bike add an additional chain or cable to tie them together.
The key to any effective security system is layers, all designed to detect, delay and ultimately deter the attacker so you have enough time to respond.
Sounds rather complicated but it?s all relatively straightforward with the right company, and well with the investment and piece of mind.
Other things you can do is ensure you don?t advertise the fact you have a nice bike, especially posting images on social media. If you do so, be sure to sanitise the image (background information, reg plates of your bike and other vehicles you may own, location stamps etc) as thieves often use info in these images to track high value goods to their home address.
