Lock-Up Garage
In Shirley/Hall green area of Birmingham.
It's finally happened - the b****rd kids have wrecked some of the lock-ups where I keep my Locost. Haven't broken into mine - YET!!! But
it can only be a matter of time.
Cops don't want to know, unless the perps are caught in the act (fat chance!). So, if anybody knows where there is a lock-up for rent, please
let me know.
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

How about buying a steel shipping container fitting a proper shackle guarding hasp and lock then dropping it on top of your existing lock up? These
are pretty solid and un breakable into without cutting gear and fire proof. I recently got a 40' for £1200 20' probably the size of your
lock up are a couple of hundred cheaper.

Im giving mine up once my V8 beast is sold.
Suffolks a bit far too!
The container idea is a good one, we got one at work for sod all money. The only trouble is where to put it. Itl look a bastard in your garden.

Just an idea.... but what about container in the garden but with some fence panelling or feathered wood attached to the sides? It would certainly help
with the looks.
Who the f**K tightened this up!

Nothing would give me greater satisfaction - except for the fact that rental lock-ups seem to be scarce, in this area!
As an interim measure, have fitted masonry bolts through the door jambs, into the brickwork. Gotta get the owner/landlord to fit some better security
to the entrance.
IggyP - Sutton Coldfield? I'd never get it finished! But thanks for the info, anyway.
