No. Read the original post again. Most bike thefts are crimes of
opportunity. To prevent your bike from being stolen you must convince the would-be thief that that the opportunity to steal your bike is not worth the effort needed to do so. You must assess the criteria he lists (i.e. value of bike, crime rate where locked, length of time locked, etc.) and base your locking strategy on that.
