                      personally, I see it as a man should look after his tools and sometimes in the house is the best option

                            I wouldn't worry about a steering lock too much. Theives break them with little effort. In my opinion the best cheap theif deterrent is an alarmed disk lock. Nice and small to take around with you, but packing a loud enough siren to wake yourself / the neighbors up.

                                @mightyman keep in the house or 👍 could not agree more but my rs was taken with one and no one heard a thing everything is only buying time so steering locks are worth having thou i mean really worth having if you think about it

                                  Thinking about one of those trackers for my TDR next year when it's on the road for this very reason.

                                  Already had scumbags hanging around back of work when bike arrived from eBay. God bless those chavs!

                                      The best and most cost effective defense against thieves with regards to portable bike locks is a quality disc lock with a built in alarm, such as the Xena or Oxford brands. Plus a throttle/brake lock, such as the Croc-Lock. Both are small, light and easily tucked away somewhere like a back-pack, or a jacket pocket. And also they are far more portable than lugging around a big heavy chain. Plus they lock the wheels and stop the bike from being moved, with the exception of it being lifted away with a lorry crane of course!!!
