any novel ideas to secure the door to the frame other than typical padlock and hasp / staple which can easily be pried away from frame or door?

ive seen some hinged hasps or some that are both screwed in situ and with pan head coach bolt but what do you guys have on a conventional wooden shed where the door sits flush with frame?

Lock everything to a ring concreted to the floor and use the shed as weatherproofing only hehe

Something like this, using coach bolts and a steel plate or penny washers on the inside.

There was an element of seriousness, sheds are pretty flimsy aren't they? You'd just need a crowbar to break off the panels/boards or rip out the hinges.
Better to have an alternate way of securing things that could go walkies.

^^^^agree, rather silly to consider heavy, expensive security measures when the shed is of thin wooden construction, and/or unsecured glass windows etc.

my hasp/staple is fasted to the shed with bolts on the inside. seems pretty secure but prying open the windows would be piss easy for all but the most unintelligent of junkie scumbags.
