I have had mine since they first came out. I added some really nice ones this year - hummingbirds that change colour. Not sure what kind you have but what about trying something like the pegs you hammer into the ground to hold done a tent pole. It could be concealed under mulch and maybe some type of cord from peg to peg again concealed. A thief would want to get in and out fast. If they get some resistant they may just leave. Another thing you could do is put a motion detector light on the front. If someone goes near your solar lights a light would come on and they would take off. Good luck on them not being taken.
