Any protection offered by a wooden shed that you might buy in B&Q is fairly superficial.
I've got one at the allotment that was marked up as £700 in the shops (I got it for £0), and it is so shit you could fart your way into it. They're made of very thin sections of fast-grown softwood and are crap.
Of course if you've concrete footings and ground anchors etc then the shed is good for keeping the rain off, but in themselves they don't offer any real security if you live in an area where attempted theft is likely.
I've not seen one of the metal jobbies, but they're probably better.
Ultimately though, you need some sort of fixing point made of concrete or masonry that will still be there once they've killed your shed.
