Moving a ground anchor..

Oxy. Acetylene. That is all.

This suggestion i like...

The eventual plan is demolish said tatty garage... reclaim half the garden and put up 2 sheds (one specifically for bikes)....

If i follow your suggestion i achieve this sooner and get an insurance payout...

Win win scenario

Drill a series of almost touching holes around the anchor, deeper than bolts. Use cold chisel to connect. Drive wedge in to break off the block. Hey presto lift out block and anchor..

Suspect you used a hammer drill not an SDS

Yep.... B and Q own brand at that....

The sort where a plate covers the bolt heads (and the plate can't be removed while a lock or chain is in place) is easily removable. Just go back in time and fit one of those instead.

Get yourself an angle grinder and some of these metal cutting discs. Best fun you can have with a power tool.

Put an ad on gumtree for a bike thief, he'll probably be able to get your ground anchor up in 2 mins!

Try not to lift up the floor slab of the garage. You never know what may lie beneath
