I've now bolted the hinges through the door frame. I've also bought a Kryptonite chain which I assume is bolt cropper proof and threaded it through a Kryptonite ground anchor. There is also a steel bar across the door to prevent it opening. Plus a battery powered alarm. These measures should slow down and discourage any thieves returning.

I have a Brompton with a Shimano dynamo front hub. Can I use it to charge a smartphone or gps unit whilst riding along?
Thank you.

I've just had my black Orange Pure 7 mountain bike and black Brompton P6R stolen from out of my garden shed. The thieves left behind a Cannondale drop handlebar tourer, no ready secondhand market I suppose. The thieves ripped out the door hinges to get to the bikes which were chained together through a Kryptonite ground anchor. A £50 Masterlock so called hardened chain was cut through with boltcroppers as if it was string. The bikes were replacements for three bikes that were stolen from the shed last year. I'm seriously considering keeping the next replacement bikes inside the house. Any advice for upgrading shed security? A battery alarm system perhaps?
