The important thing is for you not the leave any tools around that can aid anyone's attempt to undo you fixings, especially as this is a tempory solution and you will want to be able to undo your work yourself at some time.

My tools are all safely elsewhere - the only other bits in the garage are stuff I could live without, ie bits like oil and cleaning stuff.

This might be a better short term approach in fairness. The bike is already alarmed, imobilised, and has a disc lock and cable lock and will be getting a somewhat larger chain through it later today. I just need to put some tinting film up on the windows to stop prying eyes and I'll feel a whole lot happier....
