    You could get a hss drill bit and drill the head of the screws off so you cant unscrew them, just do it so that when you try to unscrew them the screwdriver slips.

    For a quick and simple option i would second this.

    You could also get long slim countersunk bolts and then put 2 nuts on the back of them on the inside to help stop them being unscrewed.

    Almost any hasp or hinge will succumb to a jemmy or crowbar. What we did in the shed at our bowls club was to remove the screws from the hinges and replace them with 5mm bolts with washers and nuts on the inside. We then hammered the ends of the bolts over so that they could not be unscrewed from the outside. The hinges will still be susceptible to the application of a jemmy, but cannot be unscrewed with just a screwdriver.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
