I'm the exact same... And my garage isn't even very secure, the front door's cable tied on
But then again, if anyone tried to get through it without knowing htat, it'd probably fall on them and squash them. I reckon, and this is rough, but I reckon it takes about 5 minutes to secure and unsecure a bike using a proper chain and a ground anchor. 5 minutes a day, 340 days a year, for the last 5 years, that's 145 hours, I could do that much overtime and buy another SV
And of course, £150 for any chain worth bothering with, another £50 or so for the anchor plus labour.
When I'm away, I use my terrible £10 Oxford, it's no worse than most £150 chains and gives me the minimum deterrant which makes the difference between an invitation to steal and merely being easy to steal. A 16mm chain's massive, so I can live without carrying one around.
