    If you have an existing outdoor light it's just a matter of adding a motion sensor. Cheap and easy to install. Just follow the wiring intructions included.

    Again ground anchors are easy enough to install. A good drill bit is all you really need. Should get a decent one for around €50.

    Just smear along the top of the walls with engine greese.sdtops the little fu*kers from climbing over.

    Grease/oil mixed with dog sh1te is better. The oil will keep the sh1te relatively moist.

    I have a "DIY" ground anchor if you want it:
    Got the local metal works to make a "U" shape with legs on it. It's about 18in by 12in and 1inch thick. It's a little rusted over now.
    Planned to dig a big hole and set it in concrete, but never got round to it. Bike is sold now.

    Doesn't matter if it's "only" a moped boy, it's YOUR machine and YOUR two wheels and you're as much of a biker as a guy on here with a 500 or FJR. Remember that when you fall, you fall on the same tarmac.

    Use the ground anchor and then go and grease some parts of the wall so they have LESS space to work with and thus will have to take more time in getting in and shifting your wheels.

    Not exactly a good plan, in case the house caught fire! I don't think the house insurers would be too happy to pay out if the house went on fire and they found out there was a moped with a tank of petrol sitting inside the house!

    i never thought of that i kept my moped in the hallway in two different houses i was renting,way to dodgy to leave outside!,but it would have been some bang if the petrol caught fire:eek:

    op rather than putting grease or nails on the wall i think theres a paint that you can put on the top of walls that dosent dry,there is no reason someone should be jumping over your wall into your garden!

    edit:just checked it on google it should be in b&q,known as anti-climb paint,but it can only be used on walls of a certain height and someone said you have to have tell the gardai you are applying it!! it will make a mess of anyone getting over your wall anyway,

    I have used anti climb paint on a number of places and never has the can said anything about ristictions on use , I have to say it's great stuff , makes a mess of any one that touches it , and lasts for 5 years(ish) , you can also get little rubber mats that you screw or glue to the top of the wall they hurt the hands like hell but dint damage them :D
