Hmmm, I do in fact have a 7000V electric fence module I’m not using at the moment. Setting that up so that’s it’s effective but not a nuisance for me might be a job.
I’ll install a battery kill switch too, since it seems to be so easy to just force the ignition barrel and start the bike. I’m planning more cheap-but-effective security methods - but I figure that posting every security method I’m planning online isn’t a good idea

Not sure how safe a a vehicle containing gasoline in an enclosed tank would be with an energized HV power supply attached to it would be. If a spark ignites fuel vapor it's lost forever anyway. May not be legal..
Perhaps don't park it within the blast radius to any surrounding items of value... like your house or car.
Good Ridin'

As much as I believe in frontier justice it's not the best course of action here.
Be careful setting traps for criminals as they have more rights than we do and the law will work against honest folks.
Ever hear about the man who booby trapped his front door with a shotgun to shoot intruders ???
He went to jail for setting a trap.....In Michigan we do have the right to stand our ground , but not pursue and engage ( shoot ) a fleeing felon
I guess my claymoor mine under the seat only works if it sets off a paint or glitter and glue canister. ( No ball bearings )
The current rage is catching porch pirates stealing packages from amazon and UPS..
Some pretty good ideas are showing up on U tube ..But non lethal ( To Bad )

Thanks everyone. For the record I won’t be attempting anything with the electric fence. I said it was a ‘job’, and by that a task which would take some time and consideration to work well - I won’t be doing it.
On one hand the thief was an arse who stole my bike just to go joyriding for a bit. On the other hand they didn’t torch it or drop it in the sea, once they were done they just parked it - even turned the ignition off. So an arse they are, but at least an arse with a small shred of respect.
