To be fair, if you're using a bike for transportation -- whether you're riding to work or riding a dozen miles across town for a Sunday brunch -- it doesn't matter whether the bike
cost $100 or $5000. They're both
worth the same because they both act as transport. Whether you drive a Yugo or a Mercedes to the office, if it gets stolen, you're still screwed until you get a replacement.
IMO, then, you don't just choose a lock based on the value of the bike. You should choose one based on how well you think it'll let you return home on
your bike.
