What do you think of my two guides Oliver? I made those personally and copied the info off my site as some of the people on here don't have flash player.
Alex, I like that you make the effort to provide advice. Some of what you have there would, I think, work better as a personal cautionary tale--you shoot some of it down by over-hyping it, i.e. it doesn't live up to the title that you've given to it.
Why not do the following--have a look at the relevant info in the various threads on bike security and theft, e.g. 'Locks that work', or 'What to do if your bike gets stolen?' and check what's already in there. If you find something that you want to add from your advice texts, just excerpt it and post it in those threads.
It's a bit of work, but it's a better idea than to ask someone else to do the work for you. You'll learn something in the process. We've all been there, by the way. I joined my first cycling-related mailing lists thirteen years ago and I still learn things on them. Just give it some time.
