Default HF & VHF antennas for my garage.

I could use some help in setting up a HF antenna and another antenna to work
VHF. I live in a condo that doesn't allow outside antennas at all, so I'm
trying to set something up in my garage...maybe set up in the rafters above
the car.

I have a set of Iron Horse HF antenna sticks for the HF radio and a Diamond
X50 for the VHF/UHF radio. The problem is I can't get either to work. I
suspect it is because there is no ground going to the antennas. They are
mounted on a antenna mast that is sitting on the concrete slap of the
garage.

Does anyone have some ideas of what I can do? Is there a different
antenna that I should consider that would solve this problem (of not having
a real ground...just a cement floor)?
