I would like to refer my learned friend to the previous answer

Yep.. At least when it goes back in it will be at back of garage... Not at front...

What an anticlimax. I feel cheated.

My last ground anchor didn’t come out, but the concrete around it did & it was unusable afterwards.

i'd got popcorn all ready to go and even been to the gym so it won't count too.
Not much of a fight was it have to try harder next time

Disappointing lack of explosives/expletives. Must try harder !!

...What? You mean it's all over? Aw crap!

Is it worth sticking around while the new holes are drilled?

Err... Sorry on closer inspection I found some pre drilled holes in the prefab concrete walls roughly where i wanted it.. And I'd bought a few different diameter rawl bolts in preperation... I had a couple the right size... Araladite on the rawl and on the thread of the bolt...

So all sorted... With big blob of p38 on bolt heads to prevent removal with socket...

Sorry no entertainment there folks.. Just wished id spotted the holes 2 years ago..... I assume they were part of the fixings of the walls that weren't used

Is the ground strong enough?

Its the concrete wall. Hopefully if anybody tries to steal they'll pull the garage down and save me a job

Wondered at the time about the picture..... but was busy getting ready for the assault on the ground anchor... clever joke... I had to google the image... Should of realised Mrs V likes them and has one or 2 of their albums....

Someone's just worked out the post before the tool update.

Nine hours later.

Had to use Mr Crosby (default search engine on explorer) though....

I'm thinking.... place a small cold chisel between concrete and anchor and then smacking it hard with a small sledge hammer...

Because in theory all I have to do is strip the thread of the bolt in the nut bit of the rawl and by forcing the bolt upward may do this...

Its that easy...

Not read all the thread as I have a life apparently...

You can either get it up with a good chisel and a lump hammer or chisel the concrete and remove it as a lump.
You could then make another hole and simply concrete it back in.

Thieves don't tend to like making a lot of noise.

Disc cutter would be easier but the dust may cause a problem.

My granny could’ve yanked that out with her bad arm.
