To be honest an empty mini shell weighs little more than a packet of Rizlas and wont be worth the crown jewels to them at any pikey metal recovery yard.

Just put a CCTV sign on the back from somewhere like b&q. They will prob just laugh at it but it wont be worth the risk of stealing it 'just in case' you really do have something.

Things must be bad in your area for them to even bother coming back for a second look.

There are several websites like this now which offer rented garages as well as driveway parking which may help locate something:

ParkatmyHouse is a revolutionary new approach to parking. We have thousands of driveways, private car parks and garages to rent all over the country waiting to be booked.

my uncle once rented a garage and kept his car in it.
he was driving to said garage after not having been to work on the car for a couple of weeks.

when he saw what he thought was his car on the back of a recovery truck, he thought about following the truck to ask for some parts but decided against it.

go to his garage to find it empty, the old dear pressumed as he hadnt been for 2 weeks he didnt want it and got rid.

They been taking all the cast iron drain covers in some areas of the country, not worth much individually but it all adds up when weighed in at the end.........

I would seriously consider chaining it to the ground. Pikeys will take anything not bolted to 10 tons of concrete.
