Logical and to the point. It wouldn't even be costly to have a welding shop fabricate a hard core metal anchor. And since this is only for home use and not mobile use, one could find a nice length of heavy chain and a heavy duty lock that would surely deter thieves away from the bike. At that point the thieves would probably find the house door more interesting. -- Or maybe some of the other stuff in the garage that isn't bolted down. -- ;~)

It's actually cheaper to buy a couple of expanding bolts and drill them into the concrete with a chain on each, then hammer the bolt heads so they can't be unscrewed and lock the chain ends together. A real bastard also glues the thread & prefills the hole with concrete-compatible glue, and uses expensive hardend chain. While there's some value in a cover like the ones advertised, the gap between "I can defeat a chain" and "I can defeat the bolt head but not the cap or chain" is very narrow. I have the welder, but I just use bolts, it's not worth fabricating something more complex

Personally I would park the bike in the bedroom, when the wife complains, inform her she is not closing the garage door, if she is smart she will get the hint, if not, maybe get a different wife.

@Moz - Even better. Just saying that this question just needs logic and not dissertations. Solid anchor plus solid locking = solution. -- Or, the wife needs to keep the door closed. --

@wdypdx22: agree on the logic requirement.
