As for prevention, I would lock all of the frames together in the garage and remove the front wheels and store them inside. An un-ridable bike is not a very attractive target.My bikes are hanging and locked together. You can't remove one without removing the whole group.
Homeowners or renters may cover some of them to a point.. but if you a serious or even semiserious collection your insurance company may require a seperate rider (no pun that is what it is called) for the bikes. same with firearms or if you had a fancy pianer or fiddle
