- description: I like to park it where I can see it: Russian man solves crime issue by winching motorbike up outside his 3rd floor window Boris Farihov, 56, came up with novel way to beat the thieves A Russian man has come up with an ingenious way to beat the thieves - winching his beloved motorbike up to his third floor window to lock it away safely at night. After having two motorbikes stolen in quick succession it seemed Boris Farihov, 56, from Nizhny Novgorod in Western Russia would have to give up on two-wheeled transport altogether. But when his wife joked that the only way to keep a bike safe would be to keep it indoors it gave him a flash of inspiration. 'After that I decided I needed to come up with something else and my wife jokingly said the only safe place to keep it would be indoors – and I thought why not?' Then in the evening he winches the vehicle backup to the third floor balcony in his flat in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod and sleeps well at night knowing that it is safe and will not be stolen. He said: 'It is not much more work than putting three padlocks on the bike, and it's a lot more secure.' Police in Nizhny Novgorod said that motorbike theft was a growing problem with professional gangs targeting even low value machines which were usually quickly resold for their spare parts after being broken up.
