It looks like one of those dog tie type screw in tent pegs
just wondered if anyone had tried one?? by the looks of it it could be unscrewed but 2 or 3 bikes on top of it should make this a difficult task...

But would it be that difficult?
I suspect that if three bikes are all locked to this contraption two people could lift the bottom bike (lifting the other two) and start to turn which would tighten the slack in the chain and then unscrew the peg.
Ok, so you would still have three bikes stuck together (probably in awkward positions to carry/impossible to ride) but if they were unattended and you had a vehicle nearby the bikes would be gone.
As SB rightly says, it is all about delaying the thief and making it as unattractive prospect as possible. This tool would be better than simply locking the bikes together, but not as good as sticking them in a car boot.
I have burglar alarm at home and although I know it is not perfect it means they will probably attack my neighbours (unalarmed) house before mine.
if you want to use it for camping et, why not get a cheap motion detector that makes a loud noise if moved, and chain the bikes to the car wheel,towbar etc, and save the money , the coil will cost.
I saw this idea quite a few years ago (1997) at the Royal College of Art Design Degree exhibition. Only the bloke had gone one step further, and used two spirals, screwed in at roughly right angles. When you threaded a lock through the eyelets at the end of the spirals, you locked them together so they couldn't be turned. By using two at right angles, it made it much, much harder to simply pull out.
