UK designer John Wrightson's In-Lock in-ground bike/motorbike security device concept gives users piece of mind when camping or attending outdoor events where a convenient lock-up isn't available. The lock is screwed into soft ground, making it impossible to pull out, even in wet conditions. The bike/motorbike is then chained to the lock via the opening at the top that stays above-ground. Best bets are that a thief on a mission would simply unscrew the device to steal the goods, but I suppose the bright orange color and 1.5 minutes of unscrewing time are deterrents enough to make In-Lock better than no security at all.

It's actually pretty cool. At large events, you may get the odd theft, but not many due to the large amount of people and the attitudes towards others with a similar passion or interest. Also if locked correctly, the chain itself would limit the amount of "screws" possible.
wow. ingenious. I'not sure how this would be toatally effective- but the idea is right. great work
