Truck theft and garage security
Green1:
A couple of weeks ago my truck was stolen from my driveway. Less than 2 feet away from my bedroom window.
Myself and my neighbours have been very lax on security. 30+ years nothing has ever happened.
Yesterday I setup a Tapo c500 camera and wish I did it sooner rather than later. Excellent quality and lovely and clear night vision. It no secret I have a garage full of bikes and tools so will be getting another to monitor inside the garage. Set up with motion detection and alarm.
All I'm going to say is act now rather than later and don't own a transit tipper when surrounded by travellers.🙄

I have a Tapo C325 on my garage.
The quality (2k) is brilliant but it’s the night vision that really stuns me.
I originally set it up with the neighbours (shared garage block) so see who was dumping stuff in our bins.
Now I watch the fox.

What a pisser Mick. Bad enough any robbery, but impact on work equipment is really nasty.
Certainly sympathise with this. Its similar over here though, theft in general, and virtually everyday in local report a car goes from outside houses in my immediate vicinity.
From being involved with security at workplace, break ins etc, and speaking to people I know in the police force, they'll be back if its replaced too. Watch it and disable it as primary protection. Pulling a fuel pump fuse/relay may be useful.
It's an absolutely shambolic shit show in this respect currently. Was out with my son walking in London recently, he looking for directions on phone, we stood face to race to keep observation of the electric bike riding scum that proliferate in stealing nowadays.

What absolute scum bags. The problem is there will be little or no chance of ever seeing it back again. When I see these thief’s going about on their bikes stealing anything that’s not chained down and even things that are chained down I can’t help thinking about a baseball bat! (I know it’s wrong) and I’m not a violent person.😳
