I have an older version of an 8mm cable lock. Wow, didn't realize how inexpensive one of these are these days, like 12 bucks. Any advice on which lock to get? There are like 10 kinds of Kryptonite ones - maybe I should get the Mini, or something in the $35 range? I don't know if the $100 lock is any better of a deterrent than the $35 one.

My company will not be held responsible for anything left outside, even cars we park in the lot. They said they have never heard of an attempted bike theft but there is only one or two people that ride to work and my building has a thousand people in it. That's why I wanted to bring it inside, even if they thought I was crazy.

I don't work in those cities, I work off of the Palisades in North Jersey. I never lock up my bike outside - when I have run errands before I just bring my bike into the store for a few minutes and leave it against a wall.
