I'd do exactly what you suggest, John--anchor a loop/ring/anchor to the
slab and use that.

I saw that because my garage has evidence of one of the walls having been
pulled off the foundation. I'm not sure how they did that, but I got to fix
it.

Actually, I know *how* they did it--a gigantic D-ring mounted around a
length of bar stock bolted through several of the studs with a manual winch
attached to that. What I don't know is what on earth they were winching on
and how they thought that was a good idea.

It was a pain to get the sill plate squared back up onto the slab.
