Also I used to have an app, I cant remeber the name, that turned a spare phone into CCTV, with the same app on my phone. When the CCTV registered motion it would send my phone mad with alerts. So that would be useful for you, so you can be woken if someones looking at it.

CCTV would be great for peace of mind. Advrider e-rag had a feature on a £150 motion/sim-card bike tracker that seems to have a lot of features that may work while out and about - especially if I’m ‘touring’ by next year.
At the moment the bikes are locked individually inside a (messy) locked shed in the back garden behind two locked gates, with handlebars wider than the door, that are a right pain to get out or down the side of the house. A thief would need to rip out a fence and fight a rose bush, or else navigate a crazy-narrow route.
Currently I lose all the convenience of jump on and go, but it’s better than the horror stories of losing it from out front any day or night.
We’re thinking about replacing the plastic bike shed out front on the other side of the house with a permanent secure mini-garage type shed thing, for greater convenience. At least then one bike can be quickly unlocked from a ground anchor, pushed off the gravel and go. But then, that means a thief only needs to cut from a ground anchor, push off the gravel, and go.
