Bike security advice
Okay, what else could be done to make this more secure? Bike is inside a timber shed, also fitted with Datatool S3 alarm, disk lock front wheel, disk lock rear wheel and chained to a flimsy set of ikea shelves through the rear wheel. A ground anchor cannot be fitted due to the shed being on a grass base. Anything else to make this a bit more secure
 Your suggestions please

I assume timber shed is locked? Is there anything more solid you can lock bike to? In my case I use an old pottery kiln which my wife never uses which does as an apprentice ground anchor. Is there a power supply in the shed, if so you could use timers with lights which might deter opportunists. Some people on here have rigged up CCTV...

You could use a bucket of cement as a ground anchor.

how about a wirefree PIR alarm system? Not hideously expensive, batteries last quite well nowadays, reasonably good range too.
Just for example try Screwfix (not recommending them, just an example). How far is it from the shed to the house? There are wirefree magnetic door switches or you could fit a PIR motion detector inside the shed (or both), and a sounder at the house which can be heard from the shed to scare them off (hopefully). You can have them so they'll switch lights on in the house if triggered. Alarm signs on the shed door might put them off trying?
