    Hello to all,
    I was looking for any suggestions as to how to secure small garden statue fixtures (birds, rabbits etc.) to the ground if possible. My neighborhood unfortunately has little children that like to wander off with their neighbors' belongings & I would like to discourage them without making a scene. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Can you drill holes in them ? If so drive short pieces of rod/rebar into the ground with enough sticking out to then drill a whole at the right angle and the use epoxy to bond them to the rods .

    Exterior silicone caulk makes a very strong adhesive bond, if they happen to sit on concrete or stone too.
    Somewhere not too conspicuous, around the bottom or even on the bottom, use a sharpie permanent marker and put your address on the item in small print? So if found or it needs returning, honest people will know were to go with it?
