Think defense in depth. The more security measures that need to be defeated, the more time, noise and pain in the ass it is to thieve stuff.
I've got each bike separately cable locked to a the aluminum ladder on the floor in the picture. Long enough to get both wheels and frame. In addition to the garage door lock, I installed a pair of rings (one in the cement, one through the door) that are locked together with a heavy padlock. Most tools and random parts are in the basement. Nosy neighbors are a plus too.
