How can I stop flower boxes from being stolen in the front garden?

I have a ground floor flat which is pretty close to the pavement and I want to put up some flower boxes on the window ledge. How can I stop them from being stolen?

Carpet gripper rod on the bottoms. Ouch! Probably not legal, but the swines should not be stealing your boxes.
Reply:wowwww, thats an issue? wow. put thorny climbing tea roses in it...let them drape over the sides... attach a string to it that pulls a lever some where that sounds like a pack of vicious dogs coming at them when they move it. ummmm... put a sign on it... "please watch and if someone other than ... and then describe yourself, touches this box, please ring doorbell immediatly".
Reply:Use Rawl-bolt fixings(available most DIY stores),and bolt through the bottom of the box into the ledge.Put distance packers under the box to enable drainage
Reply:the problem is what ever you do,if someone wants them bad enough they will find a way of gettting them.
Reply:Screw them to the window sill with masonary screws.
Reply:Glue them to the window ledge somehow? Or maybe buy some brackets so that you can fix them onto the wall?
Reply:Put something really really heavy in the bottom so that they are hard to pick up, then get some brackets to fix them down somehow.
Reply:make them full of live electricity!
Reply:bolt them to the ledge through the bottom
