Read something ages ago that gave me this idea. I want a motorcycle anchor but don't want to drill into the driveway or into a wall as it's rented accommodation.
So how about getting one of those big outdoor bins and a ground anchor a bit like these here:

Then shove the anchor inside and cut a hole in the side of the bin at the bottom so the anchor sticks out, and simply fill the bin up with concrete. Voila!
There you go. I realise it's moveable unlike a ground anchor but a 80l bin full of concrete attached to a bike is going to be a pain in the arse for a thief to load into a van or whatever. Surely an improvement on just a chain alone. Have I thought this through properly or is it just a brain fart? What do you think?
