Lock your bike to a sturdy object if you want to keep it. Use a stout lock to do so. I've had a standard cable cut when a bike was locked to a metal railing at school, and I've had a motorcycle dragged out of my driveway with a disc lock on the rear wheel and a U-lock on the front. If a thief wants your wheels the thief will find a way to get them. Make it more work for him than he'll think it's worth. While I like the idea of the Abus-type wheel lock it is not much of a deterrent in this country and while I might give one a chance in casual circumstances I'd be nervous the whole time.
