NYC Security Practices
I know that NYC bike thieves are some of the most dedicated out there:

So, beyond following Mr. Weiss' advice and not leaving anything too fancy locked up, and locking up both wheels (I use either two U-locks or a Kryptonite chain), and checking whatever I'm locking to is firmly anchored into the ground, is there anything else I should do to prevent people from disassembling my bike on the street?
I've heard about putting glue, or glue and a ball bearing, or similar things in any allen bolt I don't need to adjust particularly soon-- worth it? Also, is using a bike chain in a tube actually enough deterrence to keep your seat on your bike, at least most of the time?
