Ground Anchor and a good solid chain will deter a lot of thieves.. Thats what all the British bike mags always recommend, and bike theft over there is huge.

I had a friend in hollywood, fl do that, rebar into concrete with a solid chain... that didn't stop them.

Also, Rocket had his bike taken while he had a chain through the rear wheel. The assholes took the wheel off and stole the rest of the bike.

Either way, a garage isn't fool-proof either. If someone knows what's in it, they can just wait until you leave and break-in. You're only advantage is the bike is out of view.

I got it back last night in once piece thank God. I don't think the guy that was on it was the one that stole it though. He was riding it a half mile from my house in broad daylight.

Thanks again for everyone that was helping me look though...
