Can anyone recommend an alram?

Maybe general chat would be the best place for this but can anyone recommend a good alarm for the VTR please?

No, they shite! They go off when they shouldn't and don't go off when your bike is in the back of a van on its way to be broken. Chain, good lock, ground anchor, big dog, shot gun

HAHA... Very good. Maybe an Alram worth getting!

Bike already sports a thatchman approved lock and chain, anchored to side gate by front window/ door where the two dogs sleep at night with an owner who can hop out of bed as soon as one eye opens and a good arm to match, but...

Recently, the local council moved a lad in across the road who 'WAS' on tag. Tag has come off and all of a sudden, peoples stuff has started to vanish. On top of that, quite a lot of people have been around this way looking/ inquiring about 'John' and his mate, including one lad who tracked him down from over 30 miles away and was about to boot the door down until the local fuzz turned up (gutted)!!!

So, since I saw his mate eye balling the bike a few days ago, I would like to have additional deterrents in place to increase chance of potential capture (and proper old school 'this is how we deal with bike thieves around here' lecturing).

I'm not a fan of alarms. Installed many for friends (one of which had a texting device installed but that was a pain in the rear eventually. Receive continuous 'motion detetced' texts... WIND, and then 'low voltage' warnings because the battery was low - load of poo) and a few for myself in the past and they do have the down-side of battery drainage which is why I'm asking if anyone is able to recommend one they have personal 'positive' experiences. Sticking the bike on the optimate all the time because of an alarm gets tedious and I don't mind investing in something decent if there's something decent worth getting.

An audible disc lock may help too.
