What to do in this situation?

[Hicks12]

Right well the storys long but basically my mate just got told that some people are gunna attempt to break into my garage and steal my dads GSXR 750 and my 600 along with torching the rest. Im not sure these people will do it (just like they were going to stab me and all that crap a few months ago, long story), but mines not insured as its not used so if they do im screwed.

To help back my side up with say the police if it did happen is there like a place to contact as a heads up? I dont want to waste there time as i still doubt they will do it so calling the police and saying that would waste much time ut i want it on record just so if it does happen i can pin it on them (i know who will be involed).

Also if they did come and try to break in, what grounds have i got in terms of defending it?. cricket bat/knife to far?.

Sounds like a piss take but im more worried that my £2000 bike would be wrote off!!.

Store the bike somewhere else till it blows over?

Also you can only use violence (reasonably) to defend yourself not posessions

Phone the non emergency number for your area, tell them you think there is going to be an attempted theft of your property/criminal damage/arson, and mention the people involved.

They may do nothing, but they may keep an eye on it in case something does happen - Arson is a fairly serious crime, so that should get their attention.

As to protecting it, get it insured. Whether you do, your dad does, doesn't matter. At the end of the day, it is property - not worth getting stabbed over, and especially not worth getting a criminal record over.

Do these people actually know where the garage is?

If I were you I would go to the police and explain your situation. If are genuinely worried that something will happen, then I'm sure the police could give you advice on what to do. A £2000 bike is not worth stabbing someone over, unless you are put in a life threatening situation because of this, don't even think of doing something that stupid.

Funnily enough i cant afford the insurance .

And yes, they do know where my house and garage are, will look for that non emergency number now.

Sell the uninsured bike.

Sell the uninsured bike.

This.

would it not be covered under the house insurance? if it's SORN, not insured for highway use, and inside your garage, then it's just a "thing" in your house, with XYZ value surely?

I'd still go to the police and tell them everything you know - and get the original informant to come along as well to back you up. Policemens like corroborating stories...

Of course if they break in to torch a place you're already in, I'd argue that doing just about anything in self defence is legit. Kill the little scrotes!

[matty-hodgson]

Set up claymores, take defensive positions.

Give me the bikes till it all blows over

Who in the right mind would do this and further more then tell someone about it ?

Many people are depressingly stupid.

[shelley bda]

I agree with Nvening, store the bikes and anything else valuable, until it all blows over, then think about upping the security on the place. A call to the police won't hurt I don't suppose.

[Fortune117]

CCTV so you can catch the little so and sos
