A good solution is to install telescopic ramraid bollards.

The landlord who owns the entire block of garages may not be so happy though

When I lived in East London I bolted a substantial bracket to the garage floor just inside the door, to which I padlocked a robust 'A' shape structure about 12 inches high. High enough to prevent the car being driven out but not too high - as this would have allowed enough leverage for someone to bend it over using a tow rope. The A shape was indestructable - I welded it up out of lenghts of scaffold pole

Probably overkill, bearing in mind the value of the car, but it did allow me to sleep peacefully.

the most simple and most efective is to drill 2 holes just after the roller ( if it is a up and over type) place 2 good quailty locks throught the holes and no one will nove the door.

Roller shutter doors can be cut through easily if a thief has the time, I kow this to my cost when I was done.......roller shutter looked like a tin can when they had finished

thanks for all of the above. i like the bollards but i'm thinking there is a balance to be struck here...ie you make the thing look like fort knox and the passing would be thief will be thinking "whats in there? ". suppose the thing to do is to make the door as secure as possible and then get the car some more security, i think its ridiculously easy to get into being a spider, one would just have to prize away the rubber around the window where it meets the window. ....and then i shall install a military grade bollard inside the garage....

Yeah, how about a bollard inside the garage?
