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".

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.

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...."

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...

I got robbed buying it haha! Total opposite to a thief I am sadly... LolDid you have any problems sneaking back later and stealing it?
Although my truck is currently on a friends drive as I've been using his garage to bobtail it I have enjoyed waking up and not having to chexk it's still on my drive... I did however leave the keys in the ignition for 3 days.... Oops!
