Default Garden furniture security

The message
from MJG contains these words:

Slightly off topic I know but I was not sure where else to post this
one.


No it isn't :-)

We are about to have delivered a fairly large teak garden table two
benches and two chairs.


I really would like to hang on to them and would be grateful if any
could advise or point me in the right direction as to how I might keep
these items secure.


They are pretty heavy and would be difficult to nick but nothing is
impossible.


According to the police, garden items are often stolen for fast
anonymous disposal in carboot markets, so do something to make yours
unsaleable. My garden furniture is all marked underneath in large
letters in indelible marker pen, "stolen from (our name and post
code)".Items like mowers and bikes are similarly marked.

One of our garden seats was an anniversary present so is also carved
along the back with our names and wedding day. Nobody else is going to
want that. You might prefer to think of some similar way to personalise
your own.

Janet.
