Egggggggg-zactly.
I've used a cable lock for six months now. I also leave all my doodads (lights, mini pump, helmet, computer, etc) attached to the bike. Haven't lost a thing. I probably don't even need the cable, honestly... but I felt it might deter the random prankster or whoever who might just MOVE my bike so I can't find it.
