If your tools do get stolen you may be lucky and find identical ones

May also be worth while getting some ghastly coloured paint and protecting
the handles with it.

A fork with a bright pink handle has less value to a local tea leaf
wanting to flog it at the loacl car boot than and ordinary looking one.
Also runs the risk of you or someone else spotting it there and reporting
them to the old bill for some explaining.

I'd not bother locking a shed, it's not going to stop a thief and you
could end up with more damage to the shed (lock or hasp jemmied off). I
would keep anything other than some cheap basic tools in there though,
decent stuff I'd transport from home. An old army kit bag could be useful
for that, tough as old boots, big enough to take most of a spade, fork,
rake hoe.
