Think like a thief. Take a look at the rack where your son will be storing his ride. Look for better bikes with crappy locks, QR skewers, etc. You don't have to build Fort Knox to protect his bike, just have a lower value target with a better lock than others on the same rack. High schools and colleges are notorious for having numerous bikes, poorly secured with crappy locks.
Doesn't always work. Hardcore thieves work from vans on a per rack basis. And heavy duty bolt cutters will eat any chain and a bottlejack any u-lock.
