There is a guy I know that commutes to work and uses four locks and an alarm lock. He locks to as many different things as possible, all different parts of a chain link fence gate etc.

He caught a guy stealing his front wheel once before he locked the wheels up,and wrestled it out of his hands and called the cops. The bike he now rides to work was left at his work, he called the police and they said "Advertise it in the paper for 30 days. If no one claims it, it's yours." So he did.
He's the kind of guy that competes in the special Olympics. He will never be able to get a license, so that bike is his life. He rides with us every week and hangs out at the LBS. Everyone is very proud of him for handling everything so well.
I'll try and have him get a photo of his bike locked up.
