Do you ever get suspicious when....

You have just stepped outside to work on your landy when a random stranger just drives up in a fancy bmw, lowers the window and ask is it for sale then just drives off when you say "no it isn't".

Yes. Lock it up securely tonight.

I've had several knock on the doors asking if its for sale and I live out in the middle of nowhere.

Well it is all locked up via steering and pedal locks and sounder moved further in than being by the head light. Hope is is still there in the morning. I have only had it a couple of weeks.

OP:- YES !!

I always take a pic of any undesirables we see - it tends to put them right off - such a shame

Got another motor to park in front of it? If so then do..........................

Get it belled up as well....soon as. Can you lock it behind gate ?

I understand the reason for a little paranoia but I can't get my head round the bit where a thief thinks "that's nice, I'll have that away later......I'll just show him my face and motor first...."

You should have taken his number both of the BMW and his mobile.

I think a little too much paranoia from most of the replies as well as op...

Yes they go missing all the time but as Bb said he ain't gonna show you his face and then come pinch it.. Maybe someone just interested or has always fancied a fender... I went and knocked on a randoms door 6 months after I had brought a gas bottle off him on eBay to ask him if his blue 90 was for sale and guess what. I still own it 3 years later..

So glad mine normally lives in a barn out of public view with locked gates on the roads in, overnight, even better at the moment in a locked farm workshop on the ramp with a wheel off.

Normally
15m from the back door
12m from the dog kennel


And it is only 65m from the gun cabinet...

Block it in and sleep light, got a good mate with a big garage hide it for a few days.?

Def find registration no and pics are big deterrant for any unwanted / suspicious callers, dog also means they tend not to get out of the vehicle to poke about.

We also have a sign on the gate...
