Each of those three locks are cheap and BIC-pennable. For that matter, I take issue with the way it is locked there.

#1: Locking in such a manner is not always practical depending on the shape of the bike rack.
#2: The front wheel/frame lock as shown could be run through the frame of the bike rack in addition to the wheel and frame, though it has not in the photograph.
#3: Replace the top tube lock with a longer U lock that can be run between the bottom bracket - one side through the chainrings and under the downtube, the other through the rear triangle in front of the rear wheel (and if you have close clearances, through the rear wheel itself).
#4: What happened to a cable lock run through the saddle rails down to the seatstays?

#5: Always if possible - park next to something nicer with less/worse locks on it.
