Reuseable ground anchor?

[Ingah]

Have previously posted asking about ground anchors, but i've since found out the others in my shared house definitely want to move next year (wasn't bothered either way myself), so i'll be going with them. In the meantime though, i really need a ground anchor as i just don't feel safe with my awesome chain being relegated from decent protection to just making my front wheel reasonably secure (to a mere thick beam of wood).

As i'm too short on money to keep buying a new ground anchor every year (i foresee me moving around a lot over the next few - and my 0% student overdraft makes clever spending now cheaper than recurring smaller spends), i was hoping i could buy one decent one for my Almax, and then re-use it in subsequent houses etc. I know that most ground anchors aren't designed to be removeable, but i have heard of at least one that is (although i forgot what it's called) - apparently the bolts are removable and are covered by the chain when it's in, therefore it should be secure enough. Anyone heard of one or know of something suitable?

Or is it possible to make normal ground anchors removeable by using a different bolt? (but then at least a couple would need to be in such a place that the chain will prevent access to their bolt heads at the very least).

Water butt full of rubble and concrete with a tube through it for your chain.

Get an anchor that sits in the concrete rather than bolted to it and dig it out when you need to move it. (It would be a ball ache though).

I think the hardie ground anchor is removable. You bolt it into the floor, place the outside cover over it and then chain your bike. The chain stops the thing from being unbolted.

It looks like a round metal disc.

The ground anchors I've got were £6.40 each, including bolts.

EDIT: Looks like they're slightly more expensive now if you want the bolts too, but still less than £8.

It'd take longer than that. And any motorcycle protection is a deterrent at best. A decent bolt cropper, or a chisel and hammer would take care of a large percentage of locks.

Get an angle grinder involved and even fewer would survive.

I strongly suspect that would make most if not all thieves move onto another garage. Especially since my garage is right behind my house, and the front is overlooked by 4 houses.

Can get this type, bolt the anchor into the floor/wall with normal coach bolts, then the metal cover slips over the whole anchor which is held in place by the padlock, which obvioulsy prevents access to the bolts.

I bought a run of the mill steel oxford ground anchor and just bolted it to the house using shield anchors.

You might think that somebody could just unbolt it, no?

Ahar! Once you have slotted an Almax chain through the thing, there is not sufficient space to get ANY kind of spanner in to remove the bolts, let alone space for the bolt to come out.

Unlock the chain and slide it out of the anchor and i can simply unbolt the anchor from the wall and take it away...
