That's a shame about your bike. Be careful who you get a new ignition switch from when you replace it, the last thing you want is someone having a spare key to your bike and your address. I had my alarm shipped to my work, you can never be too cautious. =)
On another note.....A friend of mine bought a wheel chock designed for the bed of a truck, welded some bars to the bottom and set it in cement at his place. keeps his 09' GSXR secure and you would have to bend the bike to tip it over... I think he made the whole set-up for under $80... I just use a Merlin alarm and a chain, but that won't stop it from getting tipped over, I just keep my fingers crossed... ha ha
Good luck with getting everything resolved!
