That really sucks, but just goes to illustrate what I've been saying for years: cable locks shouldn't be used as your main locking system. Cable locks work fine in conjunction with a U-lock as a means of locking the front wheel to the frame and post, but they're too tempting a target when used as a sole means of security.

Techniques:Was the bike registered in any way? You might have a means of recovery if it turns up.

Lock links:
http://kryptonitelock.com/ My personal choice in locking systems. In my opinion, they have excellent customer service and they really stand by their products.
http://www.onguardlock.com/ Another fine lock company, their parent company Todson Inc. is also the parent company of Topeak. I've had a few dealings with Todson and have come away happy each time.
The only one I'd really tell you to stay away from would be Master Lock, I wouldn't trust them to lock garbage in NJ.
