I plan to use a quality U-lock (Onguard Bulldog or NY 3000) and bring it with me while riding from now on. Would this be a good idea?
Why don't you double up? A U-lock such as you mentioned and a chain or heavy cable. Theives usually carry tools to break one type of lock, not two.
BTW, have you thought that perhaps it was a nearby business? Years ago the street where I lived and worked on installed parking meters in front of the residents houses/businesses. Not liking the idea that we had to pay to park in front of our own houses, we formed the Neighborhood Parking Meter Authority. Several of us went out one night with a Sawzall and cut the damn things down. The neighborhood scrapper was more then happy to haul them away. Anything's possible...
