You're right, but the key (in my opinion) is to slow the thief down. So what (if anything) to you have to keep your bike secure?

Take a look at my garage in the Sig picture. Notice there's no windows or walk thru door. If they can't see in, they don't know if I'm home or not and the overheads are a hell of a lot tougher to jimmy than a passage door. Other than that, the bike is locked and security system armed even when parked inside the garage.

Lights and alarms are not theives friends. Install alarm system. Cut out 6" x 6" square in floor. Use rock chisel to cut chamfer in concrete. Run two pieces of 9” to 12” rebar under floor. Run case hardened chain through rebar. Pull free end of chain up. Fill with high strength concrete. Inexpensive and strong.
Now when someone breaks into the garage the lights and alarm will have them thinking twice about cutting the chain to get the bike. As for tools and torches keep that stuff locked up. Take the torch off the tanks when not in use.
The more you can slow down the thief the more likely he is to move on to the next bike.

Las Vegas here, when I bought my RK in 06, Vegas was #4 in MC thefts ( So I was told ) So I bought A Kriptonite anchor its about 5 in across and anchors 4 in in the concrete of your garage. the bolts have hex heads and come with ss ball bearings to pound into the bolt heads making it permenant. there is a rounded cover that screws over that that you can drive on. The hasp recesses into the cover when not in use. I bought a 30ft steel security cable 1/2 in in dia. and run it thru all of my bikes. i also use disk locks on them. It was a little hassle remembering Every time to lock up but now if I dont it really bothers me. The anchor is positioned 4 in from the side wall so it is out of the way. the peace of mind is great. The anchor was $70 and the cable about $20. They may still get My bikes but it is a lot harder now. J&p has these and other ancors avail.

Garage door monitor
If the only way into your garage is the door. You may want to look into
a garage door monitor. It is a battery powered transmitter attached to the door.
It sends a signal any time the door is raised to a receiver inside your home.
Check Chamberlain Industries. Cost is about $40.00. They also make a unit that
plugs into a 110 outlet then turns on any device you want, when it receives a signal.
This could be a light beeper or what ever.
