Default Preventing theft

Every time I visit the local Polaris dealer I take a look at all the flyers posted on the bulletin board. So many people are asking for help trying to locate their stolen machines. I keep my 700 Twin locked in the garage but we all know if somebody wants your ATV bad enough a locked garage door is the least of their problems. My question: is there a cheap, effective way prevent this? What do you guys use to lock your ATV's down?

Chain 2 tires together; a quad that wont roll would be hard to take

Default Preventing theft

I also keep mine in a locked garage but after my friends honda was stolen out of his locked garage I decided to do some extra protection. I bought some concrete anchors from lowes, drilled holes all around the garage floor(this allowed me the ablity to put the quad anywear in the garage) placed the anchors in and use an eye bolt to screw into them, then I bought a super heavy duty cable(don't use chain easy to cut cable you need a hacksaw or sawzal)and wrap that all around the undercarage and use a cut proof masterlock padlock to finish the job. I know this sounds like alot of work but,I have no problems sleeping at night or leaving for vacations.
